Plastic Pollution - Unlike most other trash, plastic isn't biodegradable -- i.e., the microbes that break down other substances don't recognize plastic as food, leaving it to float there forever. Sunlight does eventually "photodegrade" the bonds in plastic polymers, reducing it to smaller and smaller pieces, but that just makes matters worse. The plastic still never goes away; it just becomes microscopic and may be eaten by tiny marine organisms, entering the food chain. why use a balance board?Balance boards can be used regularly to prevent and rehabilitate injuries to the foot, ankle, calf, knee, hip as well as all muscles associated with the legs.
