How avoid microplasics? (infosec.pub)

I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

You are going to pay hundreds per bag to send it for testing?

That's one approach, I suppose. I'd just pick a couple bags for testing then stick to a supplier tho

That still means you have to find a source that's not contaminated. Given it's even in Antarctica, that's going to be a challenge.
