But experts say damage can be reversed if US and Canada act quickly to stop new plastics from entering lake system
You're viewing a single thread.
The article doesn't specify what the impacts of these micro plastics are. What makes them unsafe?
So far, we know microplastics enter your bloodstream and can mimic hormone responses and contribute to infertility. We also know that microplastics can permeate the blood brain barrier.
Generally, we know it's bad, but not how bad. I'm assuming it's our generation's version of lead.
If it turns out that infertility is the only problem, it might not be bad. We already go to great lengths socially to scare anyone young enough to have children into thinking it is the most horrible life choice they can possibly make. Once they are of geriatric children rearing age, then we finally tell them it's okay if they choose to have one, but by then it is often too late.
This response is unhinged.
Well, naturally. What would be gained from posting something that is hinged? That which is hinged has nothing left to talk about. Discussion fundamentally can only take place around that which is unhinged.
You don't open the proverbial door of discussion by removing its proverbial hinges.
Agreed. Once the proverbial door of discussion closes, it's best left there. Again, what value would there be in reopening discussion? Once the door is hung, there is nothing left to talk about.

I posted about microplastics reducing sperm levels like 8 years ago on Reddit and my post got mocked like if I was a MRA and that if they did, it was a good thing because world overpopulation. So yeah, these people exist.
