I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

The only particles found were really small: 50 microns

going with that, 350 glasses, 250ml per glass, 1e+12 cubic microns per cm3

So 1 particle in 3502501e+12/50 cubic microns of water

according to my calculator that would be about 5.7ร—10^-10ppm

aka, next to none

yes I did the math using the simple example I found on the doc :0
