This is our lead, isn't it?
Way worse. Lead was fairly fixable. This is a problem at such a scale it's hard to understand. And there's no end in sight to stop mass production of it. Just think of bottles. The number of plastic bottles thrown in the trash from one gas station...then think about all the gas stations. That isn't even the tip of the iceberg.
I literally avoid plastic as much as reasonably possible, but I still want to bury my head in the sand about the whole thing.
Lead was "fixable" for then-future generations, not for those already affected.
