On micropastics in the oceans...we need some smart ideas.

All hydrocarbons break down, just be patient and stfu. Cure the cause the symptoms will naturally take care of itself it's not fucking lead.

Isn't that the whole problem?

The plastic breaks down into more micro nano plastics.

But are we dead yet?

No.

But we will be when some sociopath releases 'The Plastic Eaters'.

There is a novel by that name. No plastic, no civilization.

Yup the greatest thing Obama did was ban micro beads.

Thread: Thank you President Obama for banning micro beads



Thread: Ban all the microbeads!

The obvious solution for retard Leftist Democrats is to ban plastic grocery bags in Denver 2000 miles from the ocean.

Except the nations that are dumping the plastic are the nations that had most of the western world's recycling dumped on them.

Look at how people are now. Endocrine problems are the norm. This is one of the most toxic things happening on our planet and everyone just listens to Greta politics of climate change (mostly space weather driven and the sun anyway).

that every rich coastal town is twinned with a poor one, and that the rich one pays the poor one a water treatment plant

Yeah, except that would be western nations, i.e. you'd need to bomb yourself!

Western nations are very "holier-than-thou" bashing asia/africa; now don't get me wrong, these are bad places and most africans at any rate, where I live, couldn't be bothered to throw rubbish in a bin let alone recycle; but western nations greatly exaggerate the issue as they don't actually recycle all their shit in a perfect pristine way that they make out ...

(fucked up polluted place in Africa thanks to illegally dumped electronic waste from EU/US, where locals poison themselves doing the dirty work extracting salvageable wire etc so US/EU dealers can buy it back at cents to the dollar whilst being able to claim they don't in any way poison the earth)

If the military was on board, the aliens could be persuaded to help with tough problems like this. Humans could come up with a solution most likely but it would probably have other problems associated.
