@vegos_f06 @TucsonSentinel yeah, another entire category of "hooboy we screwed"
@TucsonSentinel yeah, I've given up even recycling plastics. The micro plastics aspect is just going to be such a massive problem. Bin it all and hope that later on we can find a way to reuse it.
Oh and just use less of it in the first place.
Until it's all fully biodegradable, plastics are going to be a serious serious problem
