Note that the tank is almost certainly made of plastic.

So instead of trying to run away from the problem, think about what you can do to make things better. (Hint: find ways to use and buy less plastic.)

It is a problem. Hydroponics may be part of the solution, along with glass greenhouses.

PFAS’s are found in the rain globally. Basically you can’t avoid them.

Just stop eating, problem solved.

Micro plastic have been found in sediments that have been undisturbed for thousands of years before plastics were invented. Perhaps they do exist in nature.

Try a chia head although it’s probably not good for kale.

Humans, part of a balanced diet.

Don’t think humans are tasty? Ask the tigers.

This is funny if you misread PFAS as PEAS.

South Koreans have the solution. The world’s lowest birthrate. South Korea expects to see a dramatic reduction in population. Fewer people, less stress on their eco-system.

Of course, at some point, China will just rush in and swallow them whole.

There’s an article titled “Microgreen” at Wikipedia.

You deserve a “Tiny Grow” if you’re growing kale.

Avoid radioactive strontium by staying away from any planet that has had nuclear weapons testing

Nanoplastics and PFAS have been found north of the Arctic Circle and in Antarctica.

The only place they haven’t been found are ice cores pulled from Greenland – from portions dating back to before 1950’s for PFAS and 1900’s for plastics.

Ever see the movie “Elysium” with Jodie Foster?

The University of Newcastle study, which was commissioned by WWF, found that the average person consumes around 2000 tiny pieces of plastic each week, or about 5 grams, which equates to the weight of the average credit card!Jun 30, 2023

I would be more scared of housing authorities that make it against their rules to grow gardens than imaginary climate change or militias.
