Tonnes of microplastics infiltrate Australia’s agricultural soils each year
How microplastics affects soil and food health

"We found every kilogram of compost contains between 1,500 and 16,000 microplastic particles. In weight, this equates to between 7 and 760 milligrams of microplastics per kilogram of compost. "

"In Australia, about 26% of compost produced at organic waste processing facilities is used in agriculture. So, we estimate that between 2.7 and 206 tonnes of microplastics is being transported to Australian agricultural land from compost each year."

"The absence of clear guidelines leaves composting facilities, waste processors, and end users vulnerable to unintended plastic pollution."

There is a country smaller than Cuba that is the second largest exporter of food in the World.

It has Universities, banks, homes and farms powered by electricity, day-cares, transit systems, electric trains, well lit restaurants, apartment towers, research companies, boat builders, bed makers. And exports more flowers than any other nation.

And it uses less electricity than bitcoin. Which produces nothing.

Speaking of waste and fraud and abuse, why is SpaceX being allowed to launch one faulty rocket after another?

The environmental impact is colossal.

All that debris is causing airports to be shut down.

People and private property are at risk.

If anything, shut down SpaceX !!

Ceramic buoy and fishing net on a muddy riverside surrounded with other wastes.

"Ghost gears"
Abandoned and lost fishing gears drifting on their own, entangled in rocks beached on the sea shores. Weapons in which thousands of creatures get trapped and die in an endless deadly cycle. And playing a major part in the plastic pollution in the oceans.

EL PAÍS English · Where do the clothes go after we put them in a recycling bin? An 11-month investigation covering thousands of kilometersEL PAÍS followed the path of 15 geolocated garments for months and over thousands of kilometers to gauge the environmental and social costs of the mass consumption of fast fashion. Dubbed in Africa as ‘dead white man’s clothing,’ it pollutes countries in the Global South, feeds opaque commercial networks and leaves a long carbon footprint in its wake
