Has anybody heard of any plan or idea to reduce microplastics? We've been hearing all this research over the past five years especially about all of the scary places we're finding microplastics (like our brains, and testicles, and the top of Mt. Everest). I have yet to hear about any studies into reducing microplastics.
I've heard about scientists making breakthroughs for filtering plastic out of water in a way we can apply to our water management systems. This type of thing takes a long time to develop and even longer to implement without the help from government policies and funding. So uh... Things are happening... Very slowly.
