After all, they likely are eating animals that have microplastics. Stuff like this always gets worse the higher up the food chain you get, and humans are pretty high up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] rifugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) With the amount of trash in the ocean, I wouldn't be surprised if even an uncontacted tribe is running around in mismatched sandals and drinking out of old plastic bottles. A guy I watch on YT has done a couple of short shipwreck survival challenges on some of the little islands off the coast of Australia. He starts barefoot and with no supplies and within an hour of scavenging the beach he has a pair of sandals, a half dozen bottles, both plastic and glass, and usually some fishing line or rope. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) name of the channel? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rifugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago RoKKiT KiT He's a laid back Aussie dude that does mostly ocean-based solo beach camping catch and cooks.
