Has anybody heard of any plan or idea to reduce microplastics? We've been hearing all this research over the past five years especially about all of the scary places we're finding microplastics (like our brains, and testicles, and the top of Mt. Everest). I have yet to hear about any studies into reducing microplastics.
The only way to reduce micro plastics is to reduce plastic production. We need to go with paper bags and glass jars or aluminum cans, bamboo straws, etc. the more we reduce, the fewer micro plastics we will add to the environment. I don't know how dangerous these micro plastics are to life, but I am sure our children will find out.
OK, but they're already in us. How we gonna get that shit out?
It stays in you, you die, buried, next generation might die with fewer, etc
