speck of dust? If true then micro plastics are creating rain? Oil is good right?
I am twenty years free from buying a bottle of water.

Yikes 😳
I have tried to switch over from plastic to glass or metal; but sometimes it is nearly impossible.
Unfortunately, much of our packaging is swimming in oil products.
I spend more on food and do buy locally as much as possible; but I can afford it.
Worked at a top consumer product goods company...they are in everything. Think toothpaste, hand soap, deo, bottled water, etc.
It's a chilling rabbit hole once you go down it. Just bad.
Ty though for sharing.

I didn't know that this even was a thing, until I read the label on my beautiful Christmas sweater...thought it was pure wool...nope, partly"proudly recycled" plastic! So, geniuses, what happens to that sweater & it's recycled plastic content when the sweater is discarded?
Thank you for posting this and for following me. Despite the catastrophic subject matter, it's a pleasure to follow you back!
