31·2 years agoit’s not settled that releasing as many micro plastics as possible is fine as long as it would happen eventually anyhow
Is anyone making that argument? My thoughts are that we should reduce plastics (both macro amd micro) entering the ecosystem.
As 22% ends up as litter and directly enters the ecosystem, and 49% is put in landfill (which may enter the ecosystem later) is seems using less plastic is the best solution to this problem.
Edit: I forgot the link:
I might be missing the point but does it matter if it breaks down into micro plastics over 3 years or 13?
If single use plastics are destined to become micro plastics does the time scale matter?
The op link hit a paywall for me, this one is working:

But I don’t think we can exclude non-english speakers, supervolcanoes are a global phenomena, mentos is sold in 130 countries by an Italian-Dutch corporation, and insurance traces its roots back to Chinese shipping in 3rd millenia BCE.
I like the general sentiment but not the worked example,.the US is only ≈4% of the global population so 10k is low balling.
Most laptops have a physical slider that can mask the camera. But I don’t know of any tablets or phones that offer this feature.
