A substantial chunk of microplastic pollution comes from wear of vehicle tyres.
The amount increases with vehicle weight; so electric vehicles with heavy batteries will makes this worse.
Maybe replacement of all internal combustion engines with electric powered motors is not the solution...

One of the kids got a toy with a small bag of loose glitter powder. It ends up everywhere in the apartment and eventually probably in the nature as well.
I really hope that within few years it is illegal to sell it even produce such stuff.

Thanks for the mention, this film has a number of highlights throughout, with some good #philosophical ideas expressed too.
The #microplatics aspect to #windfarms is not immediately obvious because they're such large machines. The way he highlighted the #corporates involved was another highlight.
We need to agree with the woman who said positioning them must prioritise #biodiversity.
His #arrest was harsh. Has that #protest been documented in full?
