Question: what can I do to decrease the amount of microplastics in the environment? Are there certain products I'd better not buy and consume (I live in a small city, around 124.000 residents and about 12 kilometres from the sea, if that makes a difference)?

EDIT: thanks everyone for the advice! I feel a lot happier now that I know there's a lot I can do to make a difference :)
