Look, it's obviously good to have knowledge like this, but I am not worried about the mountain bikers out trying to get some exercise while having fun.

We can address this issue later when we detach from fossil fuels as our main power source.

Emissions from burning fossil fuels that poison our air is a completely different issue than microplastics that poison our water, soil and everything that comes from that. Two separate issues that need to be addressed at the same time.

Where .... Where do you think plastics come from?

Yeah, I'm only worried about the environment when it's somebody else's problem.
