I’m being hyperbolic, but TikTok just re-radicalized me and in ADHD energy mode and I know this urgency won’t last forever. I hate when things I’m around feel contaminated by toxins and I already wear a mask for the polluted air. I hate getting rid of things that might be useful, but also plastics bad so it might be useful. I do have OCD, but this isn’t about that it’s an exaggerated but rational urge. I realize this account’s lib asking you to “vote with your dollar,” but for personal health what do you think? I can afford this eventually. I’m clearly monotropism spiraling but it’s fun.
Also, should we stop recycling plastic if the product will be worse?
you should check out the podcast “pick me up i’m scared”
they are some kind of communists and they did episodes on microplastics talking about all the unfun details of how people are ingesting microplastics, tires, fruits, vegetables, air
it’s in everything
they use microplastics in fertilizer to slowly release the nutrients so iirc that is how it gets in your vegetables
but they talk about how to minimize your personal consumption of microplastics can’t remember but check it out
