We just have to evolve now, no going back.

Science should make micro-plastics berry flavored to improve palatability.

but i dont wanna die to microplastics, i want to live and be old

Microplastics are good for you. In all honesty we should be paying businesses an extra fee for them graciously granting us the benefits of these wonder drugs.

Avoid synthetic clothes and you removed 99% of microplastics and endocrine disruptors of your environment.

i live in a room with a carpeted floor unfortunately, the carpet is likely made of some kind of plastic so its already over for me i think

honestly, the only way is if bacteria evolves the ability to eat plastic, or we engineer bacteria with the ability to eat plastic.
plastic itself clearly has a lot of useful chemical energy stored inside of it based on how readily and completely it burns.
however, this is like the Carboniferous period, in which nothing could digest woody plants, so forests were just piling up with dead (but not rotting) wood. think of it as we are in the "Plasticine" era.

The so called "microplastics" are 1000x smaller than this. They're inert and dont do much. Its already in everyone's blood, water, etc.

huh, i guess thats a positive way to think about it, i heard something about plastic eating organisms at some point im pretty sure, so hopefully life will find a way
i still dont really want to die young from plastic induced heart disease or something
>>16590770
havent they been shown to cause a bunch of nasty stuff in animals?

>plastic induced heart disease
Anon I don't think it's the plastic primarily driving heart disease. I think the high sugar, high cholesterol, HFCS artificial ultra processed garbage we stuff in our faces is far more critical than the few milligrams of inert plastic we might net accumulate in a year

The most common synthetic textile is polyester fibers, that not only shreds a lot of tiny fibers easy to inhale but they're also coated with phtalates. It turns out most phtalates/BPA comes from sources unrelated to diet (not linking the doi, use google yourself).

Why would you think that? Who on earth has ever died from microplastics? I've been ingesting microplastics since I was a baby and I just turned 30 and I'm in perfect health. I would concede that I probably have less testosterone and more autism than I would otherwise, but even if that's the case it's not like I could tell.

You should just stop reading alarmist bullshit, it will make you feel better

Microplastics dont exist, just the next, global warming, which I proved was poly psychosis narrative.

There was a whole TV segment today on how youth nowadays have ‘eco-anxiety’.
Gen Z and A are having nervous breakdowns over things they can do nothing about…
