    Plastic is very durable, will it make my brain last longer?
    Also plasticity of the brain is a crucial function, if it benefits the plasticity that would be great too.

    “Will allow” is absolutely irrelevant, if it’s in the environment there is no way to control it individually.

      It, checks notes, makes you stupid. Joking.

      Thing is, we could control it if we took it seriously. So really it does come down to how much we should allow. At what point will we take action?

        This is not a matter for personal action.
        It’s up to environmental scientists to figure out how we can deal with it, and then it’s up to lawmakers to make regulations accordingly.

        Of course if you are in the USA you are probably on your own. 🤔

        Please post a picture of the tag on the shirt you are wearing right now.

        The overwhelming majority of microplastics in your body are polyester fibers, and most of those originally came from textiles.

        I doubt that. It’s already too late. It’s literally everywhere.
