I’ve been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

    So your solution is to do nothing and give in? Yet YOU are the one insulting the commenter you’re replying to? Lay off the superiority and fatalism, and maybe you will see a path to helping.

    Will we solve all the world’s problems? Not even a little bit. But does that mean we shouldn’t even try? I would argue that we should absolutely do our best to mitigate any damage caused by anyone, because we all share the same earth. Of course I would also argue we should all abstain from insulting each other, so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter.

      No. That’s their solution. They want to “fix” the problem without upsetting the feelings of those who caused the problem - that makes any “solution” they come up with automatically a part of the problem.

      Blaming plastic pollution on the working class and pretending it is their responsibility to “recycle” away the catastrophe capitalism has created has literally been the parasite’s PR strategy long before most people here on Lemmy was even born.

      Get this… more of the same will not solve anything.
