About Microplastics, Are Polluting the Oceans

Have you ever heard a voice from heaven?

”In the future, you will not able to eat seafood. Because entire marine life has been contaminated by microplastics.”

I am pessimistic that microplastics will become a serious environmental problem and will continue to exist for a long time, just like the global warming problem.

Since the invention of plastic products, how long have we been using them? And can we suddenly stop using them? The answer is very simple. The microplastic problem will be a long-term battle for the man.

As a dentist, I am made aware of microplastics problems when I see kinds of toothpaste that intentionally have microplastics added to them to characterize the product as a scrub.

Damn the manufacturers for releasing this crap!

The microplastics in toothpaste can trap in the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket and cause inflammation.

It's a shameful story, in Japan, toothpaste containing these microplastics are still being sold. They are not only used in toothpaste but also facewash.

Will the human race realize the stupidity of what they have done when the oceans are completely polluted with tiny, invisible plastics?

By the way, about 600$ per month is provided from taxpayers' money as protection money. Generally, Japanese people do not discriminate against foreigners, but we do not like criminals who disrupt social security. The Japanese are equally averse to criminals, whether they are fellow countrymen or foreigners. I wo...

The thinking of the negative, that is not good for a good life. But, probably, at least I or you think following. It’s not that the past was good. Only in the past was there anything good. We have to grab the bright future. This is something that each of us living in the world can achieve if we work a little harder. The effort required to do so can be as little as 30 minutes of reading instead of 30 minutes of watching a smartphone or TV.
