So plastics, like climate change, while they garner a lot of headlines (and not much action) are only a small facet of a very much larger, Earthwide problem: the metacrisis or compound human emergency.

To sleep, perchance to dream how we might reverse climate change by removing billions of tonnes of accumulated CO2 from Earth's atmosphere (spoiler: we can't).
Thence to wake into the nightmare world where micro/nano-plastics may be permanently corrupting the biological functions of all life

The remorseless rise in levels of heat, pollution & acidification is a major concern for effects it's having on ocean marine habitats, incl those which support the phytoplankton that supplies half the oxygen needed for life on Earth. Getting worse & potentially catastrophic in the decadal near term?

"The vast accumulation of evidence shows that the human impact on Planet Earth has attained geological scale. We have become an ‘event’ with the destructive force of a supervolcano or large asteroid impact, but one that appears to be happening in slow-motion in terms of our own limited perceptions."

On this planet it has happened at least 90 times so far, to past civilizations and 400 societies. The crucial question today is when will the epochal world-event take place?
