    Yes, this is how I understand it too, it’s not like half of your shirt ends up in the ocean (and the amount of plastics that ends up in the landfills isn’t really included in the microplastics that circle around - that’s a problem for the future - so the vomit-inducing fast fashion/consumerism is a bigger problem from every other standpoint).

    And yes again on the only viable solution - it’s stupid to try to slightly improve something you are gonna be producing more of every year. The “improvements” are just propaganda we are (successfully) fed for decades & it just muddies the discussions whilst keeping the current/same profiteers in power (without even changing the business model).
