Microplastics are creating huge health problems, and it’s time we do something about it
September 26, 2025
Thomas Verny is a clinical psychiatrist, academic, award-winning author, poet and public speaker. He is the author of eight books, including the global bestseller The Secret Life of the Unborn Child and 2021’s The Embodied Mind: Understanding the Mysteries of Cellular Memory, Consciousness and Our Bodies.
In the 1967 film, The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman portrays a 21-year-old young man contemplating his future. A family friend pulls him aside and earnestly suggests that he should pursue a career in “plastics.” Though hardly anyone paid attention then, the advice turned out to be remarkably prophetic – and oblivious to its dire unintended consequences.
