I’ve installed a filter on my water line in the basement, and use a Brita water jug as well … double protection. Once every 3 months I replace one in the basement … you would not believe the muddy condition it’s in. The filter in the jug seems to be good for 6 months, at least.
With all the microplastics that are reportedly in our systems and on our persons, one has to wonder if corpses will be essentially mummified without the actual process of mummification.
The problem with plastics is not that they don’t break down. The problem with plastics is that they DO break down … into the toxic chemicals from which they were made.
Mitigation for the problems of waste, including plastics, forever chemicals, toxic substances, etc. is available in the form of Plasma Incineration. This process reduces waste products to their individual atoms, the resultant materials are a hydrocarbon gas that can be used for fuel and a glassy slag material that can be used for construction. It can generate net positive energy. There are a few operational plants now, building more takes money, but doing so could simultaneously solve waste and energy problems.

I’ve often wondered if a piece of plastic could be reduced to the atomic level and still remain plastic. Now, I know. Thanks, Dave Cloverly!!
