“A growing body of scientific evidence shows that microplastics are accumulating in critical human organs, including the brain, leading researchers to call for more urgent actions to rein in plastic pollution.

Studies have detected tiny shards and specks of plastics in human lungs, placentas, reproductive organs, livers, kidneys, knee and elbow joints, blood vessels and bone marrow.

Given the research findings, “it is now imperative to declare a global emergency” to deal with plastic pollution, said Sedat Gündoğdu, who studies microplastics at Cukurova University in Turkey.”

That's about it, other than moving to a more rural setting.

“Crypto-asset stabilization through strategic engagement.”

How do you see the rural setting helping? Being more self-sufficient so consuming less, especially packaging?

One thing to keep in mind is that about 10% of plastic pollution comes from tyres. When tyres wear off, plastic dust goes in the air, we breathe some of it in, the rest settles down in the soil and water.
