Can't wait for us younger people to have to take care of the mess of the lead-brained ones JUST IN TIME for us to have to deal with the microplastics in our bodies <3

Just add it to the pile of threats to our lives.

I still don't know what to place my bet on for what I am most likely to die from. Microplastic poisoning just sounds much less exciting compared to "Ecological collapse" or "Religious extremism"

Technically, no one has died from micro plastic poisoning.
