We celebrate plastic as progress—light, strong, eternal. But that's the problem. It doesn't disappear. It breaks down into invisible particles infiltrating our water, food, and bodies. The real threat isn't the bottles we see. It's the microplastics we don't.

A placard with embellishments interspersed with the following text Keep Calm and Carry on? I'd rather raise hell and change the world.

Why do we put up with the #StatusQuo ?
It's brought us the #ClimateCrisis the #MicroplasticCrisis
and #Trump
We need to use this momentum to reshape a better world, we can just get rid of Trump and his ilk and hope it doesn't happen again. Without change, it almost certainly will happen again.

Where Microplastics Accumulate Depends on a Sticky Secret MIT researchers uncover how microbial slime—biofilms—plays a key role in where microplastics stick or drift away, offering new tools to combat pollution.

Biofilms vs. microplastics: a slimy barrier with powerful implications for pollution control. #MicroplasticCrisis #EnvironmentalScience #BiofilmBarrier

Microplastics Are Making Photosynthesis Harder for Plants—and That Could Slash Crop Yields, Study Suggests On average, these little particles could reduce photosynthesis in plants and algae by up to 12 percent, according to the paper

Microplastics aren’t just in our water—they’re in our soil, messing with plants' ability to photosynthesize. 🌱 Less photosynthesis = lower crop yields = a major food problem. This is yet another reason to stop plastic pollution at its source! #MicroplasticCrisis #ProtectOurFood #PlasticFreeFuture

So to avoid #climatecrisis and #microplasticcrisis we should bike, walk, go by train or bus. No?

in any case, driving ICE cars instead of EVs bc the latter "shedding too much microplastics" is counterproductive!
