Reducing your plastic footprint is a good place to start.  Don&#8217;t buy products in plastic; look for glass or paper.  Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Nestle are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildetail.eu\/en\/news\/food\/coca-cola-pepsi-and-nestl%C3%A9-remain-biggest-plastic-polluters\">the largest plastic polluters<\/a>; please don&#8217;t buy drinks in plastic bottling.  <a href=\"https:\/\/polymerdatabase.com\/Polymer%20Brands\/Plastic%20Manufacturers.html\">Boycott <\/a>the largest plastic manufacturers.   Bring your own reusable shopping bags to the store.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asbmb.org\/advocacy\/toolkit\/write-a-letter-to-your-legislator\">Write to your congress people<\/a> emphasizing the need to enact legislation.  Fund and support organizations that want to tackle the problem of plastic pollution, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.worldwildlife.org\/site\/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1002&amp;s_subsource=web_HYCH&amp;_ga=2.106634117.789983473.1607622569-2093268204.1607622569\">like this one<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/issues\/fighting-plastic-pollution\/\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastics are chemical compositions.  Every company (like Dow) makes their own &#8220;patented&#8221; version of plastic, a &#8220;thumbprint&#8221; essentially.  There should be a way to analyze the plastic pieces and trace them back to their manufacturers.  We could in theory enact laws to have those companies be responsible for cleaning up the pollution their products are creating.   But sadly the way our government kowtows to big business, it won&#8217;t happen in the US first if it were to happen at all. &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I have your attention, if you <em>really do<\/em> smell plastic when you&#8217;re doing your business, its probably symptomatic of some digestive or health issues going on. The list can be exhaustive: malabsorption of nutrients, dairy intolerance, colitis, chron&#8217;s disease, IBS, medications, antibiotics, junk food, alcohol, dieting, etc. could all be culprits.  It&#8217;s best you start with healing your gut first.  Along with probiotics, a candida diet may be for you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bonne sant\u00e9<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/tenor.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4411\" width=\"117\" height=\"66\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/banner2-1-1024x36.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/banner2-1-1024x36.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/banner2-1-300x11.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/banner2-1-768x27.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/banner2-1.jpg 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div><p align=center><font color=\"#FF0000\">Thank you <font color=\"#FF6347\">for reading <font color=\"#FFA500\">today's post. \r\n<font color=\"#FFD700\">Have <font color=\"00FF00\">an <font color=\"40E0D0\">InterStellar <font color=\"800080\">Day! <font color=\"FE09FF\"> ~PrP   <\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s possible.
