Presumably there is that amount of plastic in all the creatures on earth as well. Remember that pkastics are petrol products. We can save the earth by simply removing the fossil fuel industry entirely.
According to the Science Vs podcast it’s nowhere near that amount of plastic. It’s an exaggeration that got press because it’s such a disturbing visual.
I think we may have FOUND the microplastics magnet. Plaques in our bloodstreams from the article. They were finding MUCH higher concentrations of microplastics in the plaques. My laymen guess is that the plaques themselves are more “sticky?” to microplastics and collect them. The only downside right now is that means we stroke out when the “magnet” gets full.
Don’t worry. I’m sure we can keep throwing billions of spanners into billions of engines continuously without consequence.
We need a plastic magnet to save us all. WTF is this timeline.
Everyone of us has the equivalent of a plastic spoon in the brain. Humanity is finished. Not a big loss, all things considered.

We kind of have that:

The problem is that you can’t exactly boil solid food, and its energy intensive. But at least it’s something.
Well that’s not a magnet though, meaning you can’t attract it away from being mixed in with other particulate matter. You can with Iron, for example.

Hence why I said kind of.
