Even if micro plastics are perfectly ok for us to eat, they are still a problem if they are piling up on the ocean surface, clogging up all the street drains, and littered all over the forests. They are still a nuisance. Plastics take hundreds of years to break down.
When I was a kid there was way less plastic packaging....
everything today is way "over" packaged in tons of plastic....
sometimes it's very difficult to get to the actual product inside the packaging,
doesn't have to be this way.
I do not even know how elderly people open many food items, etc. with all the cobwebs of plastic packaging enveloping something. It's hard for non-elderly people to open. Even items bought at a pharmacy can require 2 people + chainsaw. LOL

ER visits from cuts are up due to this impossible plastic packaging. I'm not quite elderly, but I give this kind of packaging to DH and he gets out his tools. Even the cream cheese lid takes a pliers to get off.
If there's a bright side to the plastic garbage heap in the ocean, I read it's creating its own ecosystem and has ocean wildlife living on it now.
I would like to see us go back to using "Glass bottles and glass jars", they worked fine when they were returned and the factory sanitized them and reused them.
Imagine the jobs that could be created to make Glass Bottles, Jars and the jobs that could be created to collect and recycle that glass, and to clean and sanitize it.
the broken one could be melted down and remade.
