You and I probably read the same science news site. I also read this article about Hitler today: https://phys.org/news/2025-11-hitler-dna-reveals-genetic-disorder.html
And a few more articles about microplastics and cheap solar batteries of the future.
I think microplastics is a lost battle, unless someone comes up with technology to clean the environment of it. They can ban plastic straws, but how much comes from plastic clothing? How much fabric is actually natural these days?
