Taken at the Desert Botanical Gardens parking lot in April. The heat that day was stifling yet so was the beauty of my surroundings!
Fun factoid: These trees have chlorophyll rich bark that perform photosynthesis.
It's not all doom and gloom, my friend! Certain photocatalysis reactions can reduce most(~90%), if not all micro-plastics in wastewater with the obvious downsides being that it requires a constant power source and takes significantly longer than conventional treatment.
One could also leverage the use of microorganisms like Chlorella or crude plant extracts during pretreatment but that is probably beyond the scope of what you're thinking.
Okay. I guess caring about finding practical solutions to our problems is a waste of brain cells. Have fun in your echo chamber of misery!
