I've been more and more conscious about microplastics. I was not aware that the laundry and dishwasher pods are just plastic which then goes into the water system.

What can be done to prevent microplastics?

Ah yes climate doomerism. "The Earth is going to become uninhabitable, but there's nothing anyone can do about it now so I'll just keep on keeping on". Classic!

I never said nothing cant be done...

True, you said "Why worry about something I can't control". Paired with "I never said nothing cant be done" gives me the impression that you think something can be done, just not by you.

If you don't think you can, who do you think could?

It isn't going to be just one person that will motivate change, it will have to be a bunch of people. You could be one of those people, but I don't think those people will have much success if they maintain the "Why worry about something I can't control" way of thinking.

If all the people with a brain who give a shit stress themselves out into having health issues and heart attacks, what are we left with?
