- dappermanneke 3y agowell it’s only been 70 years or so since we’ve started using plastics at scale, and at least half that we’ve had some form of microplastics widespread in the environment. any day now
- Retric 3y agoNot everything is life or death, plastics have been linked to hormonal/fertility issues. Micro plastics do cause problems but it’s systemic at this point. The issue with pollution is it frequently becomes very hard to notice that everything is slightly worse. People used to think smoking was heathy as crazy as it sounds, but when most people experienced smoking related issues such issues where normal.
