When ice forms, it traps small airpockets in it, so we take samples of ice from the polar circles kilometres deep, date it, crush it to release the air pockets and measure the air contents. Then we can see how different the CO2 amounts were to now.

Source: there’s a fuck ton of different articles that talk about this, and this is the first one I found of Google, search yourself for more.

The only polish word I know is kurwa, and Zubrowka.

You’re right, you know just one word in Polish, because it’s Żubrówka you filthy peasant.

We could organize stuff earlier… If we weren’t either in work or sleeping after a full week of getting up in the morning to “be productive members of society” !

Barely relevant side note, I wanted to go to a concert in Poland, Powerwolf, Hammerfall and Wind Rose are playing in Kraków, but it’s on Monday? Who the hell makes a concert on Monday?!? God-damn it.

What a great meme you have here, one question, where funny?

I don’t know. There’s a lot of plastic in the ocean, and as far as I know there are ways for it to go back into the rest of the ecosystem like water does, so plants will probably gather it as well. Less than animals but still some.

Regardless of whether you eat meat or not, you will get some of it in your system. Whether that’s bad, and how much of it could cause issues is still unknown. From what I know there aren’t any studies that state what effect microplastics have on our bodies. Probably because you would need a significant amount of people without any in their bodies as a base group, and with how much plastic is used by us every day that would be difficult to find.

Although, eating less meat is generally healthier, better for the ecosystem and cheaper (especially if you grow stuff, even in small pots near a window) so if you can switch to vegan/vegetarian diet without any health problems, you should give it a try but be mindful of your diatery needs, it’s easy to not get enough vitamins or proteins if you don’t plan your meals well which could lead to anaemia. Even if it doesn’t work for you, at least you will know more recipes.

Also, I’m not a scientist, biologist or anyone with any credibility in this field, I’m a software developer and my biology is on high school level, so take everything I said here with a grain of salt since I may be wrong.

Sure, but how much really is biodegradable? Genuine question since I can’t really find any statistics.

Even a systemic change wouldn’t do that much, plastic doesn’t break down into other things, it only separates into smaller pieces.

Even if we stopped using all plastic right now, the plastic that is already in the environment would still enter the food chain and accumulate in the top of it.
