[00:00:00]Microplastics have now been found in human [music] breast milk and are present in 26 out of 34 samples that were present, and babies as young as a few hours [music] old are consuming it daily. Just take a look at our everyday items: a plastic chopping board which has scratches like [music] These release milligrams of plastic every year into our body. Equivalent to double [music] a battery worth of plastic every year. It is present in everything. The Food Packaging That [MUSIC] We Have Soil. The Water Bottles That We Drink Out Of. So, the shift in mindset from using stainless steel [music] glass and wooden chopping boards to using plastic just because it comes cheaper comes [music] at the cost of having our babies consume microplastics the moment we're born. So, make [music] sure that you do limit the exposure to plastic every day because here it's not just our health, but our babies' health should also be in our control.
