    “Tiny shards” probably isn’t the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.

      Wasn’t scared about microplastics before this headline so it’s effective.

    So like, could I find out who owns the rights to a plastic in me and then invoice them for the storage until they come and collect their goods?

    maybe this will finally motivate all the idiot men in congress to do something about plastic pollution. (and maybe climate change in general.)
