Oh, do you know what else? Paint. Apparently, a lot of studies didn’t account for microplastics that came from several types of paint that end up in the environment. Scary stuff.

That’s crazy! I didn’t even realized they had plastic in them. Makes you wonder how many inconspicuous everyday items have the potential to become plastic waste.

That’s totally okay. Thank you!

Maybe! Either way, thank you for taking your time to comment :)

Right. That’s fair. Thank you!

I browsed the communities introvertcatto mentioned, and I didn’t come across any political content.

The one at lemmy.world has been shut down and moved to lemm.ee, from what it seems. Not exactly what I’m looking for, but those are great options too. Thank you for the recommendations!

Which one? [email protected]? I’m in it already; I was looking for something a little more ‘serious’.
