everyone with plastic – a crime increasingly known as #plasticide.
The horrific toxicology of ingested #plastics has become more apparent with the release of a scientific paper about their impact on wildlife.

If LNG infra in Qatar/Iran is damaged then a whole lot good for the world would result? fewer: chips for #LLM #AI #GenAI wastage, #weapons, #methane burning for #electricity, #fertilizer polluting #land #water, #plastics?
That is GOOD - right?
What if that great trash island in the Pacific never existed?

The longer term is of course highly uncertain. But savvy investors should realize that #petrochemicals and #plastics are not only problematic products per se they are highly dependent on this single point of failure in a conflictive world. Best to invest elsewhere.
War is hell, full stop. But if this one chokes off the #plastics industry's insane growth trajectory, that will be a silver lining. (Still not worth thousands of deaths, it goes without saying). japantoday.com/category/bus...
Our last paper on #plastics in #riverbanks is out in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social
We found that riverbanks showed higher MA density than other compartments, with river embankments causing one-way #macroplastic transport from banks to river.

#Plastics #Recycle #Innovation #Science #Enviroment #Parkinson #alt ARRON PARNAS 3/22/26 GOOD NEWS Scientists have developed a breakthrough method to turn waste plastic into a key Parkinson's drug using engineered bacteria. The process converts PET plastic into L-DOPA, a widely used treatment, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional production methods. Researchers say the innovation could help reduce plastic waste while creating valuable medical products. The discovery highlights the potential of biotechnology to address both environmental and healthcare challenges.
