Wow, so no even vegetarian diet is safe from micro plastics anymore. Anyone know if organic food soil is treated with this nasty 'sewage sludge' ?

- majjam 4y agoThe article says so: “ Sewage sludge is the byproduct left behind after municipal wastewater is cleaned. As it is expensive to dispose of and rich in nutrients, sludge is commonly used as organic fertiliser in the US and Europe.”
- colechristensen 4y agoIt never was? Plastics are everywhere. And most of the mineral nutrients in your food were indeed something’s poop at one point. I’m not sure how you want to escape that.
- hinkley 4y agoAlso organic farms use “row covers” to solarize soil and kill weeds by smothering them instead of using herbicide. Those are mostly just sheets of plastic. Sometimes they break down. Plastic hates UV.
