> Honestly if you drink alcohol and you worry about microplastics you're just hypocritical
That’s correct. Some people feel powerless to address the bigger elephants in the room.
Being obsessively anti-plastic (or anything) shouldn’t be a coping mechanism (but that’s what it is, not hypocrisy).
But I’m suggesting that as a society, we can easily have the collective will to uncover and address issues - more research on plastic, more education on alcohol, etc.
Because we know what short term thinking unregulated actors can do, intentionally or unintentionally.
