I don't understand why talking about it is treated as panic. I'm certainly not panicing, but it seems to me you're freaking out a bit about this. I'm not saying you have to do anything. I'm saying that microplastics are prolific, and we don't understand the effects. That's just reality. Personally, I believe on a political scale we should be reducing our plastic consumption. Because it creates far too much waste.

The entire thread is in response to someone calling this study "terrifying". That was the entire point of my comment, and what I am talking about. You'll note that I never said that we shouldn't do more research. You'll also note that sibling comment (agreeing with you) is calling for regulation and government action. So maybe you are just calling for research, but... > Push for better understanding and maybe regulations to help reduce the impact. Again, with getting fat I have agency over. It's on me to do it. With microplastics, government action is needed, so we need to be better informed and press government to act on our interest.
