How avoid microplasics? (infosec.pub)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

It's reddit all over again. The top voted post is wrong. You post correct info with sources and you are buried at the bottom.

I did get to the thread a little late, the top comments were already in place. I also did make the choice to drop my reply in support of someone that was saying something valuable that wasn't getting much attention, instead of my own op reply.

It's Lemmy though, I have a feeling most of us read everything just due to how little there is to read. But yeah, we do share the natural first-commenter advantage thing that reddit has, it's a weakness of the overall format. AskHistorians created their highly successful sub mainly due to how much this irritated them. lol
