Many of us eat fish, or regularly consume supplements and oils formulated from different types of marine life. Today is and WWF reminded us that what these creatures eat not only impacts them but us as well.

When marine species consume plastic, they can choke and suffocate or the buildup may poison them. Microplastics are another problem, and when eaten by plankton and fish they can be transferred to our supplements and dinner plates.

One way we can help protect their health and safety, and our own, is to focus on plastic pollution.

Patients who purchase products and supplements from our office are welcome to bring reusable bags, or request to skip the bag at checkout.

Let us know what you do to help protect our environment!
