Sorry, but your argument doesn’t work very well. It is classic whataboutism. Why would that make me want to contaminate it more with some stickers?

Because the microplastics from the sticker amount to a rounding error. You’re spending time and energy doing nothing of value. It’s like you’re picking each individual marshmallow from your lucky charms to reduce your sugar intake but then drinking 8 cans of coca-cola.
And it’s not whataboutism, i am not defending my own bad actions by attempting to deflect. That’s what whataboutism is. Not telling someone that it’s pointless to ration their toilet flushes when they’re sprinklers are still watering their lawn three times a day.
