Tracey Woodruff is an expert on microplastics, plastic-related chemicals, and their health impacts.

Woodruff: Microplastics are in the air, they're in food and water, and chemicals on them absorb into your skin.

She says she's been working on reducing plastic in her life for a long time and thrifts clothes made from natural fibers.

Everything I'm wearing right now is actually thrifted, so there you go.

I didn't go out and do this all at once, but slowly over time. I want to emphasize that point. It took me time to build these habits. It didn't happen overnight. Eventually, I could replace things or get things.
