We can’t solve GHG emissions without restoring ecosystems, and if we are destroying them then we have at least two problems.
One of the micro plastic sources nobody talks about is clothing. Every trip through the wash adds micro plastics to municipal wastewater. Every trip through the dryer puts some in your back yard. It’s one of the reasons I’m going back to cotton clothing, as horrible as the manufacturing process of those are.
That said, ask those twitter people what they’re doing about their shoes, car tires, stretchy jeans, spanx... there’s not really much we can do right now, except keep asking scientists and manufacturers to do research. We know more about green house gasses. Practically speaking it’s the problem we can make more progress on.
