    Done.

    Youre children’s blood is now full of microplastics

        I mean me ripping ass is contributing to co2 emissions but it doesnt make coal plants ok cause I fart.

        Bikes have an extremely reduced tire surface area compared to cars as well as much lower velocities; those variables alone causing exponentially less microplastics released.

          And walking causes even less release of microplastics. So if you choose to bike instead of walk, you are responsible for unnecessary microplastics release.

            Isnt this like the exact opposite of what I was saying?

            Thought I made it pretty clear but I’ll make it even clearer: a human farting does not excuse emissions from coal plants, although they both contribute to greenhouse gasses

              It’s not the opposite. As you said, they both contribute to the problem. But nobody actively encourages farting.

                Shit to align the metaphor more of farting could replace coal plants, I dont think we’d have people arguing against it though no?

                  It’s hard to find people who still encourage coal plants, especially among environmentalists. But the same is not true of bicycles.
