    How about governmental action that will severely and immediately end most consumer plastic waste? No? Just pie-in-the-sky techno-solutions?

      Of course, we need government action! But do you know the micro plastic content coming from tap water? Do you have much of a choice as to what you are consuming? Wouldn’t you want to filter it out?

      As far as technology, this isn’t pie in the sky, it seems fairly simple and I wouldn’t be surprised if home-made solar punk versions start appearing in zines and online forums.

        Why not just have our local municipal water supplies filter out the micro-plastics why is drinking water an individual problem that each household has to solve themselves?

        We don’t get either, but one is actually possible, the other is techno-fetish shit that doesn’t exist and never will.
