SPEAKING of #microplastics, here is something global industrial capitalism needs to launch and iterate upon: ultralight Gorilla Glass food containers

After a week of stalled #PlasticsTreaty talks, Greenpeace International finds #microplastics in the Geneva :flag-ch: air!
This new investigation highlighting the urgent need for a strong treaty that cuts plastic production to tackle microplastic exposure. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/microplastics-geneva-air-un-plastics-treaty-b2806016.html

OMG this is, as you say, staggeringly serious: (from the abstract) “Scientists have now confirmed that the most abundant form of plastic in the Atlantic is in the form of nanoplastics, smaller than a micrometer. These particles are everywhere: in rain, rivers, and even the air. They may already be infiltrating entire ecosystems, including the human brain, and researchers say prevention—not cleanup—is our only hope.” 😐
Prevention! What hope is there of that? We’re doomed!
