hey let's not add more micro plastics to the environment please. Just use old fashioned munitions like a normal army.
Huh, I thought most glitter was glass, turns out its largely plastic/aluminum. TIL
I can only imagine what a horror show it would be if glitter was tiny flakes of glass. Makes fiberglass pale in comparison.
Sand is basically glitter, no? It is silica (glass), yet not sharp or irritative. In fact, there are pulverizing machines that turn glass bottles to sand that is nearly indistinguishable from beach sand. Just crush it a bit more? I donno. I'm not a glitterologist
Glitter is really thin though.
Don't go to school for it, either. I'm $3.50 in debt and that was before this dumbfuck war! I'll never recover financially for that degree and only Mark Rober will hire me. I CAN'T WORK FOR PEANUTS, MARK, I HAVE LOANS!
I hear there's a lady that lives ~~in~~ on a lake that'll help you take care of that $3.50.
Indeed. And powdered sand is dangerous.
Basically any sort of powder you can inhale is generally bad for you, any sort of rock powder especially.
So we ought to shower glass flakes over the parade instead?
Biodegradable glitter made from cellulose exists.
You are concerned aboutplastics when refineries are on fire?
I am not happy for the environment but I see it as a justificable action by Ukraine.
The world is drowning in plastic, like 10 years ago 90% of all plastic ever produced had been made in the preceding 10 years, and massive new plastic production has come online since then. Like this is a big problem it's not going away either. Recycling is worse than landfilling, they have Untold innumerable additives that are toxic and in recycling they get released into the air, and the Recycled product is worthless as well, they do it to say they did it because the pr campaign to foist the blame on to Consumers from the 90s or whenever it started.
Im not proplastic... it just not worth raising on a hypothetical relating to an active invasion and war for survival.
That is true, it's neither here nor there in regards to this war for survival, this war to refuse to be enslaved by the Imperial Rus.
Yes. For example if we have 10 million tons of crude oil in the ocean, it would still be bad to add another 10 tons into the ocean. War is bad enough for the environment, lets focus on killing the bad guys not destroying European nature.
Yeah Im all for the environment, just dont think having a view on a hypothetical prank during a war is necessary. It would have been easier to suggest confetti as an alternative and move on.
It's the internet. Everyone has a strong, entitled view about every stupid inconsequential thing lol
But I always try to spread environmental info anytime it comes up. The environment and climate is by far the most important topic for me.
