It really is incredible to think that a miracle group of materials which make up plastics will likely lead to the downfall of our species. I can reasonably see humanity coming together to address climate change, but this seems like an existential problem with no chance of it being solved.
I’d love to see the sale of plastic bottled water banned everywhere with good tap water but it’s hard to convince people to give it up, heck half the people who say they care about the environment won’t even support banning plastic bottled water
>”Using a recently invented technique, scientists counted on average 240,000 detectable fragments of plastic per liter of water in popular brands — between 10-100 times higher than prior estimates — raising potential health concerns that require further study.”
WTF???
