Microplastic pollution or not, there is still plenty of brain function left to be exercised.

I'm telling you, all these micropastics seeping into our bloodstream and digestive system are increasing colon cancer rates for younger people. My unqualified opinion only, but it feels like a strong correlation.

It’s a wrap. Environment ministers met today to:
✔️ agree on new rules to reduce #MicroplasticPollution by preventing plastic pellet losses
✔️ discuss rules to make vehicles and their components more circular
✔️ exchange views on a #2040climatetarget

This news story is terrifying, frankly. There's no escape from #MicroplasticPollution, and research indicates that it's building up in our bodies, especially our brains.

“Microplastic pollution has been found in all human semen samples tested in a study, and researchers say further research on the potential harm to reproduction is “imperative”.
Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades and 40% of low counts remain unexplained, although chemical pollution has been implicated by many studies.
The 40 semen samples were from healthy men undergoing premarital health assessments in Jinan, China. Another recent study found microplastics in the semen of six out of 10 healthy young men in Italy, and another study in China found the pollutants in half of 25 samples.”
“Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood, placentas and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. “
'#EU will force #CosmeticCompanies to pay to reduce #MicroplasticPollution
Draft rules follow the ‘#PolluterPays principle’ and will mean companies cover [only] 80% of extra clean-up costs'

The problem of plastic pollution is too big for any one nation to handle. That’s why we need a global approach. It’s worked before with the ozone layer and acid rain and it can work again with plastic.

#MicroplasticPollution swirling in Auckland's air is equivalent to millions of plastic bottles per year.
Researchers around the world are likely to have dramatically undercounted airborne microplastics, says lead author Dr Joel Rindelaub, of the School of Chemical Sciences at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
