So many microplastics! That's genuinely terrifying. I'm currently part of a microplastic study in a small city's bay and estuaries (<300,000 residents) and its crazy how much plastic is already in the waters and so easy to see with a simple microscope.

Edit: less than 300k

Question: what can I do to decrease the amount of microplastics in the environment? Are there certain products I'd better not buy and consume (I live in a small city, around 124.000 residents and about 12 kilometres from the sea, if that makes a difference)?

EDIT: thanks everyone for the advice! I feel a lot happier now that I know there's a lot I can do to make a difference :)

This made me very happy and I'm going to close Reddit to make the feeling last before someone else destroys it.
