Notice that this is again The Guardian, not the NY Times or the WaPo.
American media will not report on plastics or PFAS or any of the other pollutants in our environment going into our bodies. Yet they have special verticals with daily articles about “climate change.”
A new legal petition filed by more than 170 top environmental groups demands that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) begin monitoring for microplastics in drinking water, an essential first step to reining in pollution viewed as one of the nation’s most pressing public health threats.
The scale of microplastic water pollution, the extent to which the substance is lodged throughout human bodies, and the many health implications have come into sharp focus in recent years, but the EPA still has not taken meaningful action, public health advocates say.
The petition pushes the agency to begin monitoring microplastics as an emerging contaminant under the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2026.
…
Microplastics have been found to cross the brain and placental barriers, and those who have them in their heart tissue are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke during the next several years.
Independent testing has found them in virtually all drinking water samples tested, and other research estimated the average person ingests about 4,000 particles in drinking water annually.
California last year became the first state to start monitoring for the substance.
Last year, in a rare New York Times article about plastic pollution, they put the article in the global warming section and said that the problem with plastic is that it’s helping global warming.
Everything is global warming and they’re telling you that when you hear people talking about plastic, they’re actually talking about global warming. I’m the number one anti-plastic activist, and I do not believe in global warming. I think it is a complete hoax created by mind-warper Jewish globalists.
If I’m wrong about plastic, you can show me how. This plastic is in our bodies, changing them. The weather 30 years from now, if that were to be a real problem, would not compare to this problem.
The issue is: there is no “solution” for democracy politicians to invest in to stop plastic. They are all heavily invested in “green” warmer technologies, all of which involve creating poisonous chemicals that end up being dumped into your water supply. Windmills and solar panels require “rare earth minerals” and it is impossible to properly dispose of all of these machines they are building. The whole thing is just a massive money scam, and a Jewish globalist project to force global integration. It is not real at all, and the fact that they won’t use nuclear proves it’s not real.
Microplastics have touched almost every living thing on the planet. But we can make an impact in tackling this problem by urging the EPA to monitor microplastics in drinking water – and that’s exactly what our legal team is doing right now!
