Unfortunately, just because we forget about something and are no longer really aware of it, it doesn’t mean that this thing just stops and disappears. Most of the time, it’s still there, still happening, and, due to lack of attention, it oftentimes can become even more dangerous.

Sabrina is a Detroid-based environmentalist and content creator who focuses on low-waste living, gardening, plant-based eating, and reducing food waste. Her journey toward sustainability began back in 2017 when she learned about the harmful effects that animal agriculture has on our environment.
Her passion quickly grew, and she started making more adjustments to her life as well as sharing tips online. “I realized there are many other issues facing our environment outside of animal agriculture, such as the plastic pollution crisis and fast fashion.”

Sabrina continued talking about developmental issues, compromised immune function, elevated cholesterol levels, and an increased risk of cancers, all of which were linked to PFAS through extensive research. “Mitigating PFAS and microplastics contamination demands urgent attention, as ongoing cleanup efforts face difficult challenges and the potential health consequences appear large for populations around the globe.”
The environmentalist added that the widespread contamination of water supplies, mostly coming from industrial discharges and product disposal combined the complete lack of strict regulatory limits worsen the situation even more and leave communities vulnerable to unknown exposure.

But even if we all start doing everything that the expert recommended, a good deal of damage has already been done, and it will take quite some time to stop it from spreading further. After all, besides social media, traditional media and news are the main sources of information in our society, and, as of yet, they don’t seem to be covering this dire subject nearly as much as they should.
