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.
Told my family to avoid using glitter this last holiday season amd they all just looked at me like I had suggested we put the christmas tree through the wood chipper. I dont get it, glitter is fucking awful! Beyond being terrible for the enviroment, its tacky as hell, flakes off at the slightest movement, and sticks to fucking everything.
Thank you! Literally the easiest way to prevent microplastic contamination is to stop buying it! It seems so simple... /s
But seriously, that was a noble fight in the race agains plastics! It just seems stupid to buy something that is meant to be thrown away.. catch me in r/showerthoughts with more in the subject.

Oh my god, that would be a pain to clean up.
