can phytoplankton even photosynthesize without PFAS catalysts? probably something to look into before we just start banning everything willy-nilly.

A sad LMAO that we accidently caused nature to heal a bit before doubling down on not doing that.

that can work, but often companies are unable to quickly transition to low-microplastic products.

Instead, I suggest you use Plastic Credits!

https://www.southpole.com/sustainability-solutions/plastic-credits

quote:

What are Plastic Credits?

Plastic credits are measurable, verifiable, and transferable units representing a specific quantity of plastic that has been collected from the environment, or recycled.

South Pole sees plastic credits as an opportunity for companies to invest in regional collection and recycling infrastructure. Thereby plastic credits can help companies take responsibility in creating the conditions of a circular economy, beyond existing reduction and redesign efforts. We believe plastic credits should work alongside, or enhance, Extended Producer Responsibility regulation.
Why purchase Plastic Credits?

Regional waste management infrastructure lacks the capacity to capture and recycle all the plastic waste we generate. We all currently rely on regional governments to manage our waste, without any alignment to the companies who design the products and packaging that become waste.

Extended Producer Responsibility legislation offers a local and mandatory solution. Plastic credits on the other hand offer an additional or integrated voluntary and internationally standardized solution.

Companies can address their plastic footprints by buying plastic credits from certified activities that enable the regional scale-up of collection and recycling infrastructure, while supporting community development.
Net Zero Plastic to Nature

After implementing upstream solutions, businesses can use plastic credits to address their residual footprint. To achieve net zero plastic leakage, companies need to:

1. Measure their plastic footprint to identify how much of the plastic they use & produce is leaking into the environment, and where.
2. Retire an equivalent amount of plastic waste collection credits to the value of plastic leaked into the environment for the corresponding time period, region and polymer type.

That way you can be net-zero plastics while still consuming the microplastics you know and love!

I am a giant baby and am reading Capital for the first time. it's hard, because my brain is so colonized by capitalism that it feels like each and every concept in my head needs to be pried out with a crowbar, examined, and, eventually, discarded so that a new and better idea can take its place.

anyway, sometimes I dream of hanging out with Marx and showing him all of this foolishness we've created. what would he say about microplastics? something about the incredible waste of their congealed labour washing away into the ocean?

If Marxism had thrived and rendered him immortal, Marx would inevitably be a cranky old grandpa with bad takes. It is the way of things.

There are whole chapters of Capital that are just him going on a tangent to explain why everything that he just went over is why X economist is an idiot.

"Oh you think that your machine only makes a profit in the last hour and a half of the workday, and that's why they can't shorten the workday down to 11 hours from 12.5 hours? You idiot. You loving moron."

I don't remember if it was 12.5 -> 11 or 13.5 -> 12 don't @ me

Don't forget that City trees can also be planted by crews who might be inexperienced, or just might not give a poo poo, so when the tree actually grows, it'll just strangle itself through girdling.

for germination, sun isn't necessary. water is, though - the seed needs to imbibe water to trigger germination. plants aren't doing much photosynthetically during this stage (though brief exposure to light might be necessary to trigger germination for some species).

it should work with dandelion seed, that stuff can grow anywhere.
