You’re missing that not all plastics make into a landfill and are around us already leeching microplastics. I’d think that bricking them and covering them with other materials would lock them in better than a bottle floating in a river
- Jeff_Brown 6y agoI lived in Kenya. Stuff under the road doesn't stay there long. They get incredible abuse and little maintenance. It's hard to think of anything that would generate more microplastics than putting it in a road. Plastic in the ocean, in your garden, in an animal's mouth, anywhere else, just can't compare to the grinding action of thousands of cars daily.
