"Tiny shards" probably isn't the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.

So like, could I find out who owns the rights to a plastic in me and then invoice them for the storage until they come and collect their goods?

Honestly, I want to be told, when they don't find micro plastics somewhere.

Prove it

Shadowedcross@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I wonder if any of the Venus landers had plastic parts.

maybe this will finally motivate all the idiot men in congress to do something about plastic pollution. (and maybe climate change in general.)
