    I was there. You were kind of obnoxious after the 6th beer, but it was pretty entertaining during the 10th when you tried yelling at the tablet kiosk at your table to bring you more drinks because you were too drunk to accurately tap on it anymore and the waiter had to come take it away from you, which is when you showed him your ninja fighting moves and karate-chopped a plate of chips.












  • So here’s one (potentially major) issue with these bags:

    While the bag catches a lot of microplastics, it is also leaving a lot more in your clothes because they were washed and contained in that bag. Where do those loosened microplastics on your clothes go? Either into the dryer (or outdoor line-dry) and expelled into the air, or you indoor line-dry your clothes and release more microplastics as you wear your clothes, breathing them in as you go about your day.

    So people would essentially be paying $35 a bag to slightly improve wastewater at the expense of increased air pollution. If you indoor line-dry those clothes, you put your own health (and potentially the health of those around you) at greater risk.

    The only non-polluting solution at this point is to not buy, wear, or launder any plastics-based fabrics. This includes polyester (a lot of people apparently are unaware of this).
