As pollution rates rise, many household items could be contributing to the issue (viaThe World Bank).
While many products are made with sustainability in mind, others are still having negative effects on the environment.
A lot of this is due to single-use plastics that are constantly ending up in the landfills.
As more people become aware of these environmentally damaging products, they decide topursue more sustainable effortsin their home.
For example, one of the most popular items that are sacrificed are plastic water bottles and straws.
This is because the packaging or the makeup of the material itself contains some form of plastic or another.
It can affect your cells, tissues, respiratory systems and more, according toNature.
Among the growing list of items or foods containing plastics are tea bags.
However, many of these tea bags consist of some form of plastic (viaCountry Living).
Additionally, research from McGill University found that these microplastics are then leaked into the drink itself.
