micro plastics. reading list that the material is made off is important. these bamboo brushes or combs are great. bamboo is bio degradable and combustible. which means, if you lose one of these and ends up in the landfill, it will break apart. microplastic pollution is a problem. according to the epa.gov, coral reefs are diminishing around the world and their existence is critical for marine life. making the switch to bio degradable can less on the impact of less plastic. >> for more stories like this, visit the online site, click on the climate in crisis tab. >> banning one of
