Are you worried about microplastics?

I've been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

Make a list of all the things to worry about. Where does microplastics fall on that list? Is it above or below flushing with the toilet lid open?

It bothers me that people are worried about this and pfas but not nitrogen oxides or failures-to-deliver. It shows we worry about what we are told to worry about, rather than what maybe we should worry about.

What is failure-to-deliver? A woman who stays pregnant fo the rest of her life?

Pretty much. It is when someone sells stock in a company but never delivers the stock. It's a great way to steal a bunch of money from the economy.
