Reply to comment by Glittering_Airport_3 in UV light from the sun slowly breaks down plastics on the ocean’s surfaces: researchers calculate that about two percent of visibly floating plastic may disappear from the ocean surface in this way each year by giuliomagnifico
As long as the CO2 numbers aren’t worse(they often are) and they hold up for purpose then fine. But there’s nothing wrong with burying plastic.

What's the point when you already ignore the scientific studies that support climate change?

But that’s a minuscule fraction, as far as I’m aware from reading about the topic.

Reply to comment by No_Office_9301 in Researchers has found a link in sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A study found sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. by Wagamaga
I think that those people think about it too but it's too taboo of subject, or they supress the thoughts somehow, idk
I just had this conversation with my 80 year old uncle who claims to have never thought of suicide. But he's catholic, so it would be a heinous act to even admit it to himself

By default a greater quantity of catastrophes is more noticeable.

I’ve had the exact same thoughts. Especially whenever I talk to people about this topic and they are just super concerned and confused as to why I’d think about it. It seems just so normal to me at this point

In fact I find it weird that some people don't think about it. I believe it's a normal part of the human existence to ponder suicide

There's a belief that makeup and hair artists are crazy because of all the chemicals they expose themselves to.

Jokes aside: Yes.
Sperm counts had declined by 52.4 percent between 1973 and 2011.

You were specifically talking about thin-film plastics in your comment. Not fishing gear.

In the Pacific, it’s mostly Asian (Chinese, Indian, Japanese) fishing gear.

Similarly finger-nail salons are probably toxic chemical factories that expose workers and clients

It doesn't "disappear" - it degrades into smaller and smaller bits of plastic.
Has anyone mentioned our newest body augmentation - micro plastics?

These plastics can be made recyclable, so the issue is really how much plastic isnt recyclable and is ending up in the ocean

We need studies and experiments to validate the "obvious". Without evidence, it's just faith, and science isn't religion.
