I've been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

Hank Green makes me feel slightly better about the laundry/dish pods. I love that guy and he's wicked smart
