I made distilled water from water that absorbed plastic. The distilled water had plastic.

We worried about soot, we ignored the plastic...

Soot is not as bad as we thought..

Ok what happens is plastics break down often due to sunlight. Others break down by hydrolysis upon exposure to water. They break into smaller and smaller pieces. This causes a lot more environmental damage than does “global warming”.

These little plastics puncture the walls of fish intestines, people eat the fish and the same happens to them. Others become airborne.

One of my packaging professors was big on researching sustainable packaging for this very reason.

OMG! You just discovered GloBULL COOLING! From the tine particles of plastic reflecting light back into space!

And plastics come from chemicals, so it must be man-made. It sure beats some stupid mathematical Al Gorythm.

I’m not sure how the plastic got there. I am sure how a pair of glasses, a camera and a so I cap got there though.

“How did the plastic get up there?”

It fell from the first sentence in the article.

I dislike the stigma of Chemtrails, we should all call them “Climate Trails”

The plastic crisis has gotten so bad that they have had to inject nano-sized graphene forcibly into victims.
