I am busy and don’t have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don’t use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.

A quick google finds me an article going into the measurements taken with the tap water here: it’s so little it’s in the range of a measuring error for none at all.

I’d have to pour 350 cups of water to find even one particle, if I’m unlucky
