    Would the co2 released from burning it be better or worse than the micro plastics?

      It’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, right? Microplastics don’t cause any global warming, they’re just a direct health risk to people and to wildlife, to some poorly-understood degree.

      You really have to weigh one crisis against another, logically speaking. Unfortunately, it all gets jammed into “environmentalism” as one amorphous mass.
