I don't think we really have such an ability. Hence microplastics.
- discarded1023 5mo agoYour comment blows my mind a bit. Of course we do! Here I am, having decided to blithely parade my ignorance here without any concern whatsoever for what is relevant (what the implications may be) ... ... but on the other hand I think you're saying that we can never fully account for all the relevant stuff or what it entails for any number of reasons, not the least being that we don't know (and can't know) what all the consequences are. And yet we still need to make decisions, and winnow what we base those on.
