I’m being hyperbolic, but TikTok just re-radicalized me and in ADHD energy mode and I know this urgency won’t last forever. I hate when things I’m around feel contaminated by toxins and I already wear a mask for the polluted air. I hate getting rid of things that might be useful, but also plastics bad so it might be useful. I do have OCD, but this isn’t about that it’s an exaggerated but rational urge. I realize this account’s lib asking you to “vote with your dollar,” but for personal health what do you think? I can afford this eventually. I’m clearly monotropism spiraling but it’s fun.
Also, should we stop recycling plastic if the product will be worse?
Synthetic fibers and car tires are the biggest source of microplastics. So other than wearing a mask near roads and not heating up plastics, you could start switching to natural fibers. Personally I can’t be bothered.
carpet especially. synthetic carpet is the devil (jk I have some probably synthetic rugs but it is bad)
