I am busy and don’t have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don’t use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

    Why don’t you tell me how you think you’re gonna clean literally microscopic plastic fragments out of said dirt?

      I think I’ll call around to find some that have dirt with little plastic. I said optional for a reason

        Let me put it another way:

        Microplastics are so small that they are found in rainwater - as in, they’re found in water collected from precipitation in a pristine vessel. They’re literally everywhere, in every part of our ecosystem and food chain at this point. There is unfortunately no escaping them.

              I understand that it’s measured here, and those measurements are not as bad as you seem to want them to be. Not everywhere on the planet is equally polluted
