I’ve been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

    Yes. Capitalism’s victims far outnumber capitalism’s profiteers. At the same time, by spending less money in support of harmful capitalistic practices, it disincentivizes companies from selling them as much.

    We can vote with our ballots and we can vote with our dollars. Between those moments, we can consume less, reuse more, and dispose of less.

      Lol! This is your brain on liberalism, folks.

      Between those moments, we can consume less, reuse more, and dispose of less.

      You don’t have the foggiest idea how capitalism even works, do you?

          Let me guess… the thought of joining a union has never once crossed your mind, right?
