I'm afraid we are still seeing the first effects. I think we are on a plastic debt, until all the plastic we have thrown away begins to break apart into small microplastics.
Should the use of plastic be banned?

no, a thread died for this
ye in like 100 years it will be
already thought about this
especially food packaging
At least this is not a slide thread. Pretty sure I killed one of those.
I would love to ban plastics but that would mean we have to stop eating food
I wouldn't worry about making projections 100 years out for modern society at this point, bro.
Brah at this point we are all filled with mirco plastics
Yeah. Glass and aluminium don't make it for all uses. I can't think of a replacement for rubbish bags. Did they exist before plastic? :S
I assume this is more likely to happen to sea salt? Since its extracted from the sea, and the sea is filled with microplastics? Meanwhile rock salt doesn't get plastics into it because it buried underground and needs to be mined?
Makes sense. Pretty sure rock salt is completely free from microplastics.
Mmm we can wait until microplastics are found in all new Borns. While it is a small number. We can wait
rock salt + glass salt shaker container + stainless steel grinder = good to go
I wonder if these endocrine disruptors are related to the higher rate of homosexuality we have nowadays. People say it's just people coming out now, but I wouldn't be surprised if xenoestrogens play a role.
hope all those corporate dickweeds are happy with themselves fucking over the planet for le profits and boats and summer homes.
They should immediately be imprisoned worldwide for their disastrously bad decision making.
Plastic should be banned worldwide
I've never heard of a single microplastic ever. It's a hoax.
Not my problem
i remember reading in a schizopost that plastic molecules react with testosterone molecules and can neutralize/disable them, which is what's causing men to become effeminate, instead of estrogen in the water supply or elsewhere. the former schizo theory's plausibility is further backed by the fact that i have never ever heard of a study that confirms the existence of even the smallest trace amounts of estrogenic compounds in drinking water. was plastic the culprit all this time?
What happens if a bacteria that eats plastic evolves. You know how much shit is made from plastic? Would be fucked if it started to decay.
It was just the can/bin and a pile outside I think. Did people burn their own trash? Compost as much as possible.
There is no way to escape it follows evaporation up and falls down with the rain.
It is accumulating in the Mediterranean Sea according to that map.
aluminium is fucking trash as well
you can't process it out of your body unless you drink volvic, not even kidding
Understanding you are being facetious
but the irony is that thanks to plastic trash we can't just burn out garbage.
Life is plastic, it’s fantastic
Antiplasticfags we got too cocky
Plastics are just too good at the things we use them for and there’s no good replacement yet. We just need to have mandatory testosterone injections for men to counter the exoestrogens for now until we find a better solution
holy shit I came here to write something meaningful but this post got my attention.
This is now an Aqua thread

>I'm afraid we are still seeing the first effects.
That's a problem because it's going to be way worse.
>rock salt + glass salt shaker container + stainless steel grinder = good to go
Disolve salt in water. Recrystalize pure salt out of solution. Discard solution as the non-salt products will concentrate there.
Then, of course, consume most of your salt from fast food and canned products because you just made tablesalt unavailable to yourselves.
OP's picture with the threads is just that. The pictures of them moving around (from Brazill for crying out loud. You gullible fucks believed a prank from hue hues) is simply bits of thread that has been rolled between the fingers to cause the strands to stress, and then they relax under the moist breath of the dental tragedy that is filming it.
Pic related is a salt mine that has been repurposed after that section has been mined out. Do you think the dinosaurs had microplastic problems? And because some of you fuckers are going to still say "Yes, the dinosaurs had microplastic problems because oil and they're extinct and aliens and demons and shit", keep in mind that you have been living your whole life in this world. Not a damn thing changed but your perception of it. Get a grip on your perception and you will get a grip on your entire world.
Decades lost in ceramics research because we got lazy and used all this plastic crap.
Yeah. Plastic can't infiltrate the rocks though. Right? :-P
Salt mines were put down thousands to millions of years in the past, but you're right in general environmental contamination means there are still microplastics in it. Not from where it came from, over the course of it's production and packaging.
low dose testosterone supplements are going to be a must of the current-near future.
Our thirst for comfort and ease has caused many problems yes, might even lead to our extinction if it makes us all infertile
Worth noting all these products are assumed to be safe until they aren't, as opposed to the opposite.
Feels good to know that only jewish corporations will be effects by a plastic ban as 3d printing PLA is fully biodegradable
Shame the powers that be will do ludicrous damage to the economy over climate hysteria but they won't do anything about plastic
Aren't those just fibers from clothing?
There are studies that relate it to dementia. That's what I've heard about aluminum so far. Some aluminum cans contain a plastic cover inside though.
>you can't process it out of your body unless you drink volvic, not even kidding
So it bioaccumulates? I didn't know that
>t. plastic merchant
No as it causes infertility and cancer, like it was intended to all along.
I don't know how it used to be. So plastic is the reason we can't burn trash?
>Would be fucked if it started to decay.
Unless it completely consumes plastic. I think you are right.
I think that's a major source of acrylic and polyester plastic fibers. They enter the environment when clothes are washed.
>plastic molecules react with testosterone
well shit, is this the next worm pill?
