    I'm glad it's pride month, because this post is gay.

    Also fake, pretty sure the blades are made of fiberglass or some such.

    Yeah, aren't they more of a big (micro) plastic (producing) fan?

    Do they really produce microplastics? Like more than a Doritos bag factory or something?

    The wind carries dust and particles that impact the blades and slowly chips off the paint and eventually the fiberglass, which includes some kind of resin

    It's not a particularly fast process though so i don't think it's a big concern, probably miniscule compared to the crazy amount of microplastics produced by vehicle tyres

    Aren't those mostly fiberglass composites?
