Aaron :bc:🖖They say you have a credit card’s worth of microplastics in your body. What’s the balance tho?

Shaula EvansI've been reading about dermal penetration of microplastics -- terrifying stuff -- and as a result I am checking which of the fabrics in my home do and don't contain 100% natural fibers.Short version: I'm looking for 100% cotton bralettes for summer (in larger sizes). Or other natural fibers, if they're affordable.It's a tough search. If anyone has recs, I'd appreciate them. Thank you.*I don't need you to tell me I shouldn't/can't care.

Richard AshwellMicroplastics hinder plant photosynthesis, study finds, threatening millions with starvationResearchers say problem could increase number of people at risk of starvation by 400m in next two decadesThe pollution of the planet by microplastics is significantly cutting food supplies by damaging the ability of plants to photosynthesise, according to a new assessment.The analysis estimates that between 4% and 14% of the world’s staple crops of wheat, rice and maize is being lost due to the pervasive particles. It could get even worse, the scientists said, as more microplastics pour into the environment.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/10/microplastics-hinder-plant-photosynthesis-study-finds-threatening-millions-with-starvation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/10/microplastics-hinder-plant-photosynthesis-study-finds-threatening-millions-with-starvation</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MicroPlastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroPlastics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#starvation</a>
