I wonder if micro plastics will be our generation's lead.

Hopefully not as damaging...?

Ha, maybe not directly but as ubiquitous as it is, we're completely fucked. It's everywhere and not going away. The damage has already been done, we're just starting to examine to what extent.

It may be the next 100 generations' lead.

I hate that we keep running these massive experiments on ourselves.

There should be limited territories where people can go to use whatever new material they want, if they correctly capture and prevent the airborne spread of things. But otherwise civilization should remain within the boundaries of tried and true sustainable methods.
