Could this be a contributing factor to male fertility falling?
"These findings highlight the pervasive presence of microplastics in the male reproductive system in both canine and human testes, with potential consequences on male fertility."
This terrifies me. How are we supposed to avoid plastic when it's literally EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING?!??!?!
What other ways aside from depending on government?
Step 1: Get the GOP out of power in our federal government.
(Not suggesting every Dem would be active in pushing this forward, but those who aren't wouldn't be successful in stopping those who are)
You can always reduce the intake and your microplastic footprint. Avoid buying food in plastic packaging, use glass or steel containers for food at home, drink tap water with a good filter. Do not buy cheap clothes with synthetic fibers, install filter for your washing machine to reduce the release of microplastic. Shift your lifestyle to minimalism, reduce unnecessary consumption, maximize use of things, choose wood, glass or metals over plastic in things you buy. Smaller houses or apartments will also result in less consumption and plastic contamination.
