I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

Microplastics have also been found in our drinking water. So maybe stop drinking water altogether.

I can confirm that if you stop drinking water, in 72 hours or so you won't have to worry about microplastics.

I've heard that anyone who's drank water has died anyways.
