        Everyone of us has the equivalent of a plastic spoon in the brain. Humanity is finished. Not a big loss, all things considered.

          Presumably there is that amount of plastic in all the creatures on earth as well. Remember that pkastics are petrol products. We can save the earth by simply removing the fossil fuel industry entirely.

          According to the Science Vs podcast it’s nowhere near that amount of plastic. It’s an exaggeration that got press because it’s such a disturbing visual.
