Just to let you visualize what I got through my research, every liter of what that we drink, irrespective of the brand or the purifier we have at home, has around 325 microplastics in it. Microplastics. We are eating it, drinking it, inhaling it, and utilizing it in every aspect of our lives. Microplastics are referred to as plastic particles that are less than 5 mm in length. They originate from a variety of sources. Primary microplastics are those that are directly released into nature as small particles e.g., microbeads in facial scrubs.

For the past three decades, Denmark has been at the forefront of the transition to carbon neutrality and has proved that a country CAN make the economy work for the environment. After millions of people worldwide have started to take action and calling for change, climate justice has reached exciting new levels of visibility in recent years forcing politicians to act against climate change.
