  This implies that microplastics were inevitable because of the industrial revolution instead of because of the oil industry destroying regulation for 100 years.

    According to Karl Marx (in Das Kapital ) the deregulation of industry for sake of profit is inevitable.

    It’s cheaper to capture government than it is to follow regulations (which, in turn, are meant to serve the public, sometimes protect the public from industry)

    Some nations are trying to make the capture process slow or difficult, but none have stopped it, and it only accelerates.

      But supporting their central point, Marx did propose a solution that would make microplastics evitable.

    Plastic is made from petroleum. Petroleum is natural and good for you. I use a 1/4 tsp of petroleum in my water for flavor and I turned out fine.

  Can someone smart clear this up for me? I thought distillation was the process of evaporating liquids then cooling them to form just the pure liquid on the other end, if this can happen in rain, could micro plastics find their way into distilled water too?

    Evaporation ≠ distillation.

      Distillation doesn’t use filters either

    It’s actually not. It still carries all kinds of stuff

    It could just be the wind that was hanging out I’m the same spot as the rain. Wind can carry stuff reeeeeaaaaaally far.

  Plastic is just gray goo in slow motion.

    It doesn’t reproduce though.

      It doesn’t have to if we keep producing new stuff that sinks into the environment and lingers there for eons.

      Once we die out, it’s going to put a damper on all the biomes trying to recover from the Holocene extinction.
