(1,2) The ubiquity and magnitude of plastic accumulation on Earth make them emergent contaminants of concern, (3) a novel component of the carbon cycle (4) and a planetary boundary threat.
Sunlight-Driven Photochemical Removal of Polypropylene Microplastics from Surface Waters Follows Linear Kinetics and Does Not Result in Fragmentation
Since the beginning of widespread plastic manufacturing and use in the 1950s, the mass of plastic-carbon (e.g., mass of carbon contained in synthetic polymers, plastic-C) has grown to rival biogeochemically relevant natural carbon stocks. (1) Much of this plastic is used in the production of one-use or short-lifespan commercial items; of all plastics produced since 1950 only an estimated 30% is still in use.

It’s common practice for federal bureaucrats to design and then publicize biased studies to promote their preferred policy.

Is President Trump Being Played by Betsy DeVos and Jeb Bush? | Truth in American Education

Are the very establishment Republicans whom Trump ran against trying to out-maneuver him? The most obvious area of similarity is education.
