RE: Microplastics in Food Waste, Organic Fertilizers, Soil and Water

How does one check and if necessary, clean their soil from this contaminant? I am sure it may be a complicated process if it is possible at all. If it requires a lengthy explanation and you understand it, maybe you could do a follow up on this explaining how we can fight against the damage already done. I would greatly appreciate it.

Someone posted recently here on Steemit (maybe you?) about the microplastics being in the water. I am unsure how many of us can fight this crap, and wish that more plans like yours above regarding no plastic bags could be collected together and spread so we could all do our part without collecting small snippets here and there. It has felt for quite some time one has to be a scientist with your own laboratories to even be aware of the crap we are led to do by the experts paying off our elected officials.

Sort:  

Depending on the size in mm or microns... it can be really hard to detect and remove. I could research it and do another post as you suggest. I think the only thing that can be done is to stop it from continuing, and then we have to suffer the consequences of our own stupidity, and reap the sowing we cast until it eventually decomposes...

Tiny micron sized fibers of polyester end up in the water way from laundry use. I am going to start going to cotton only clothes I think. Yeah, there is so much crap that we can't even see, it's hard for us to know what we are doing to ourselves in terms of harm :/

I could research it and do another post as you suggest

Thank you
