    Quite honestly, going to a landfill seems so so so much better than the alternative: going into the environment and oceans, turning into microplastics and getting into food chains.

    Why are we full of microplastics then?

      Most microplastics come from car tires and washing of clothing with plastic in them. (both abrade the plastic causing uncountable tiny pieces of microplastics to enter the water or the air)

      Then there are a lot of places that dump plastic into rivers or the ocean instead of into landfills.
