The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Maybe we won't have to nuke ourselves. Maybe we'll pollute the environment so badly that these little buggers will give us various cancers, and kill us off.

The prevalence of microplastics in human samples is staggering.

phys.org - Microplastics multiple human tissues lesions

I know it's meaningless (and probably too late), but I try to avoid plastics as much as I can. For example, we use canvas bags for groceries. And we recently got some ziplock bags from Costco that are silicone, washable and reusable (no more baggies). Not 100% better (it's still silicone), but better (as near as I can tell).
