Dr. Pratima Kamath is a retired doctor and was practicing in the field of anesthesia in south Mumbai till 2008 before she decided to shift to Dubai. Her journey towards a plastic-free life began almost 25 years ago when she witnessed a cow eating food wrapped in a plastic bag that was thrown on the sidewalk, and that was her turning point in life. Her first step towards a plastic-free journey was to use simple homemade paper trash bags instead of store-bought plastic bags. Soon after she moved to Dubai, she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and that's when being a doctor herself, she deep-dived into intensive research to see if the products she used on a day-to-day basis were affecting her health. She then realized that her life was surrounded by toxins in the form of personal products, house cleaners, deodorizers, and the plastic products we use on a day-to-day basis. She unveils some shocking facts she found out from her research and this is what began her journey toward eliminating the toxic and plastic products in her life.
