According to a new study, humans can inhale more than 70,000 microplastic particles each day in an indoor environment – far more than previously thought. Worse still, most of them are small enough to penetrate deep into our lungs.
We inhale a credit card’s worth of plastic daily

Support politicians who propose the reduce the use of plastics by corporations. And who support research into the issue.
Just because a bad thing is happening doesn’t mean you just throw up your hands and surrender. It’s the same thing with global warming. People are just putting their heads in the sand.

Too fucking late.
Besides, people still live longer than they ever have before, right?

I don’t believe that.

between the ultra-processed foods, the plastic we inhale, the lack of real physical activity and the dumbing down of the younger generation, can anyone take a guess how things will look in just 30 years from now?
I'll likely be gone (I can't see myself living to 86).

You might have a hard time doing that.
But then again, maybe not — with a body full of plastic, maybe you’ll be more buoyant when your neighborhood is inundated by the sea.

This is all hysteria and the entire microplastics thing has been debunked. It does nothing. We’ve always had it.

Too bad, because I've already charged $100,000 on the cards in my lungs

From here on out, I will insist my suck buddies remove those polyurethane condoms, as I try to inhale the contents of all those dicks.

Either way, we are ingesting way too much plastic. It’s found in so many of our organs, including our brains—and that can never be a good thing.
It will take another generation before we start addressing this on a big scale
