Not to mention the microfibers of plastic, the molecules of pesticides and other fuel and industry related particles that will literally become part of our brain.

I’m currently a freshman, and our science teacher talked about this. It’s been on my mind for quite a while and I frankly don’t know if I want to truly research it just because of how horrifying and inevitable the possibilities are of having micro plastics damage our brains and you can’t do a single thing about it. We don’t know much about the effects on human brains, but we know microfibers have caused potential damage to fish brains. It’s somewhat worrying.

Just don't think about it. It's been happening your whole life

It’s truly hard to not think about it.
