Now that we know that microplastics are in our water supply, what do we do to protect ourselves? Do reverse osmosis filters, etc, at home get rid of these plastics? It certainly sounds dangerous and scary but I don't know what I need to do or should do, which is frustrating.

Petition your local government to treat municipal water for microplastics. Petition your federal government to tackle the root problem of why microplastics end up in the water in the first place.

You've skipped a step. Before protecting yourself, what not find out what harm it causes? Sounding scary is not the same as being scary. Everything in the news sounds scary, that's why it's in the news, not because it's a real problem that needs to be solved.
