Reply to 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
This seems like a discovery you keep to yourself. Oh I’ve discovered the pollution is not as big a deal as we previously thought! But if I tell people they may stop trying to clean/conserve the oceans.

> Sure but copper and lead pipes are inferior to pex in basically every way. PVC is also great for a lot of non residential cases. Steel production is laughably more CO2 intensive. > > Plastic provides cleaner, safer water with fewer leaks and lower emissions. It also isn’t worth stealing like copper pipes and doesn’t have to be joined in a process that’s highly toxic.
Those things don't make them irreplaceable, it just means the replacements, or existing solutions before plastic, cost more. Just because it's irreplaceable in some use cases doesn't mean it's irreplaceable in all of them.

But this should be addressed by the epa fda etc.

Except that was attributed to diet and exercise, not to plastics.

I don't think you're lying but whenever I hear "toxins" I get suspicious.

Are you guys just choosing not to read "undisclosed on the product labels", it's not as easy as just choosing other products if you aren't being told what's in the products or that they're harmful

We're just going to turn the ocean into lifeless plastic soup aren't we?

The only advice I can provide is: try as many masks /different set ups as you can.
I couldn't really handle the full face masks. I responded really well to nasal pillows. But I also found out I needed a head strap to keep my mouth from flapping open.
It was a lot of trial and error and after a year or so it's worth reassessing and seeing what's working and what isn't.
Make sure the pressure is tuned properly, that the humidity is set up for your environment, etc etc.
My sleep doc actually gave me low dose Ambien for the first couple of nights with my machine and again when I changed masks. It helped get over the sleep anxiety/hurdle of the new machine.
I can't sleep anywhere without it.

people need jobs, "freedom" sure as shinola ain't "free", and many workplaces are toxic. Products of many kinds are poisonous, and for some reason those poisons are often not advertised or printed on the label. the deathculture doesn't care about you, it just needs to extract your wealth.

If anyone has ever owned a tarp or plastic pool furniture they know this to be true.
The sun will destroy

Well, I guess there's nothing to worry about then. Let's keep dumping tons of plastic into the ocean.
