Hi! I'm an undergraduate researcher at UMass currently studying the effects of microplastics in soil and in our waste management systems! I'm writing up a report and wanted some inspiration to get me started, and this was a wonderful video! The experiment I just ran was looking at the size and number of microplastics in soil and how that would impact lettuce growth and the soil rhizospheres and such. It definitely had a large impact, which was expected, however because there is so little research, as you said, we have to do these basic experiments to show it because they've never been done before. Of course, this was with pristine plastics (as we'd have to degrade our own plastics, which is a very difficult thing to do- we recently found a way to do it but it's not perfect by any means. Only a few small change in the structure of the plastic) so we're going to run it again with degraded plastics if we're able to. Personally, I believe that there is no avoiding plastics at this point and I hope to do more research on the chemically damaging aspects of microplastics in our own bodies. Microplastics are toxic (at certain levels, as is any pollutant) but no one really knows what it does to our bodies. Of course, this research would require another few organic chemistry classes (the bane of my existence) but it'll be worth it for science. Love your content!

Great video! You REALLY should provide a link to your Patreon site especially if you talk about it :)

Your comment about ads restored some of my faith in humanity and made me smile. Thank you for being a decent human being!!

Thanks for your experiment because I said years from the beginning of the use plastic that it could be unhealthy and we should continue using bottles. Although, glass was fragile it was easier to clean and use. Hope to see it used more now they have discovered new findings about plastic. I'm old school I feel we should study things longer before using them among the people.

wow, I have never hated plastic as much as I do right now. Thanks a lot! I mean I have always known about the issue with seafood (including heavy metals too) but I never realized just how unavoidable it really is. Sadly it all makes sense. But I am not prepared to make such drastic changes to my diet, so I must continue eating food laced with plastic at the same time know what I am doing how bad it must be for my Stomach, Bowels, and Body :( I feel a little down right now. I was going to make Smach Burgers (Ultra Cheese Burgers) but now I think I will just have a hearty meal of nothing :/

You are one of the amazing people we need. Love you for what you are doing❤
