This has been around for a while. It’s in ground water here, so even if you have a well you’re exposed. Same with microdosing of pharmaceuticals in the water. Those are the real problems we should we worried about. Not whether cow farts will cause the ocean to rise 1 mm over the next ten thousand years.
and when you eat meat, ya don't fart. When ya eat plants then you fart. so its not even saving that. its just more leftist BS. Its too easy to feed yourself with ruminants.
Plastic is great, and it's enhanced our lives in so many ways. I'm not at all happy about or supportive of the plastic bag ban that will soon take effect in this state.
I hate paper bags. They're cumbersome and useless for anything else.At least with plastic bags I could wastebaskets. Paper bags give me way more trash to dispose of, if I used them, which I don't. I have all reusable bags bags now. One drugstore store I know doesn't give bags AT ALL! I guess you have to bring your own. I have so wanted to go in there and buy $100, bucks worth of stuff and when they say they won't give me a bag, I'd just say, oh well, forget it. I'll shop somewhere else. See how fast that stupidity would last. They do it because we put up with it.
We are a society in love with plastic, and that is not going to stop anytime soon...
Consider this...even those who need to buy 'heavy duty' power tools, trucks, equipment, etc are totally fine with plastic being used much more in their manufacture!!! Look at the front grille on a 'Super duty Ford 1 ton truck'...(the whole thing is PLASTIC), Dewalt, Milwaukee, heavy duty power tools have many plastic parts...and NO ONE is complaining or whining about it!!
That should be pretty clear how we feel about plastic!

sounds like it'd be cool, if disturbing, experiment to try:

Microplastics in the air appear to be ubiquitous.
“If you go outside with a UV light, set at a wavelength of 400 nanometers, and shine it sideways you’ll see all kinds of plastic particles in the air fluoresce,” she said. “It’s almost worse indoors. It’s all a bit terrifying.”
they're also finding it 7 miles below the ocean surface.
When I worked in a grocery store, everyone used paper bags. Then the tree huggers decided that plastic bags were better. Now plastic bags are bad.
Our town recycles cardboard and some glass, They tried recycling plastic bottles, etc. And no one would take it.
When I travel to Germany a couple years ago I was amazed at how there was no plastic anywhere. And how little processed foods there were to be found. Even when I ate once at McDonald’s. Everything came in glass bottles in the hamburger it was on the quarter pounder I ordered was literally like a hamburger that you grilled on your grill at home. It didn’t have any of that preservative, weird addictive McDonald chemical taste that you get here in the US. Makes you wonder.
