REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal CareDo some research on polystyrene and polyvinyl. How many items in your house already contain these toxins?
Kelly Miklavcic 7/14/2019 11:06 AMA horrifying amount. I did a science fair project on biodegradability in 2nd grade and have had a STRONG aversion to styrofoam since. I hate how much it’s used inside of things we don’t even see. -
