Just what a growing boy needs.
Eh. It is a good way to easily visualize the amount of plastic.
Not counting my measuring or serving spoons, I have two sizes of spoons. How much plastic is it again? The little one or the big one? Are my spoons the same size as theirs?
Yes, you have grasped the general idea of the thing. It is about the size of a plastic spoon. Heads may vary.
better than a plastic knife
I think I’m beginning to understand why I’m surrounded by idiots.
The plastics industries don’t want any disruption to manufacturing volumes, so they’ve invested (together with government) a lot of money in propagating the plastic recycling myth in order to keep political pressure off themselves. Recycled plastic is poor quality and unfit for consumers, which is why the recycled portion of new plastic units is typically single-digit percentages. They’ve also created a new bit of greenwashing aimed at convincing the public there’s a ‘new and improved’ class of plastics that stand up to recycling at higher rates, but most experts think it’s just clever accounting.
Those are fucking rookie numbers. I’m more plastic than man at this point.
That’s bad
Yeah too much
Holy Shit!
I didn’t expect to read such a doom-inducing piece today. This is so full of really bad news, it’s almost funny that it gets to us at this moment. It’s like humans don’t have enough urgent problems at hand.
The industrialization would have been great for humankind, if we wouldn’t succumb to greed.
Now Nanoplastics will team up with Climate Change, just to make sure we humans are weeded out fast. This way, life on Earth would still be able to possibly recover, maybe.
Edit:
Microplastics
And we laugh at the ancient Romans for flavoring their wine with lead or using lead products and slowly poisoning themselves.
were they dumb?
why didnt they just stop poisoning themselves??
Yeah, its pretty weird.
They did not have the science to know it was poisonous.
So in a certain way, we are actually dumber, since we are doing it anyway
Everyone knows nanoplastics are stored in the balls silly!
So you’re saying I should put them in the ♻️ bin?
