Micro-plastic pollution to the fore – unfortunately it conflates pollution with climate change and seeks hundreds of hundreds of billions of dollars in damages – not clean-up

Regular readers will know I have a “bee in my bonnet” about the potential for micro-plastics to be a catastrophic cause of ill-health and death – maybe even a global ALL species ending event. CHD has posted an article here which is of interest t those who, like me, have grave concerns.
Another one of those 'no-see-ems', like the giant Pacific continent of floating plastic no one can find. You can't see it because its positive buoyancy keeps it just under the waves ... put you can measure it. It's the size of Texas ... if only you could see it. Tantamount to CLIMATE CHANGE! There's nothing more inert than polymerized "plastics", the miracle of modern science. I say all those opposed to plastics should be denied their use—everywhere. Think about that.
I’m beginning to cringe when I see all the plastics used out of convenience like the water bottles and all of the household containers. It’s too easy for us all! Marketing is now programming!
Averaging across lots by brand, Nestle Pure Life and Gerolsteiner showed the highest average densities at 930 and 807 MPP/L, respectively, while San Pellegrino and Minalba showed the lowest microplastic contamination with 30.0 and

I am steering clar f microwave meals cooked in plastic!
Brought to you by those who forced you to pollute you lungs with plastic fibers from masks.
Take Nestle to court
Two unrelated studies have found a widespread plastic microfiber–contamination in bottled water.
