Particles, yes, but plastic particles? These didn't even exist a hundred years ago.
The damage is being documented, and it's far more obvious with larger contaminants, the most prevalent being plastic nurdles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurdle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurdle) that sometimes escape into the environment.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoThe presence is being documented, but presence isn't damage. I'm not an industry apologist. But we can't spend billions on everything, and there are real issues that need addressing.
- astrodust 12y agoThis isn't about spending billions. It's about not putting beads in facial scrubs. Surely the industry will survive if they use something like walnuts or pumice instead.
