It is hilarious to me to watch people freak out about micro plastics in their Tupperware or whatever when the vast majority are coming from their Lululemon tights and SUV tires.

    You're right but I think that most of those people are worried about consuming micro plastics and are less concerned about the effects on the environment. So most people aren't munching on their tires or Lululemons ^unless you're into that sort of thing...^

    The water is the environment man and you need it to live.

    The call is coming from inside the house.

    You use your tires, they wear off then it rains and the result ends up in the water table. You wash your clothes the water ends up back in the water table after all the microplastics are worn off from the washing.

    Water treatment does not remove 100 percent of the micro plastics.

    You drink the water.
