Michael Flores+FollowMicroplastics Are Everywhere—Even Here?!Just found out scientists discovered microplastics in every major European river they tested—including the Thames and Tiber. Even though the numbers seem small, fast-flowing rivers like the Rhône are carrying thousands of plastic bits every second. These tiny plastics are in our water, food, and even the air we breathe. Some companies are ditching plastic, and researchers are finding ways to clean it up, but it’s wild how far this stuff has spread. Anyone else freaked out by how unavoidable microplastics are? #Microplastics #Pollution #EcoNews #PlasticFree #Environment #Science10Share
Chelsea Murray+FollowAm I the only one worried AI might be burning through our power and brains at the same time? 😵Everyone I know uses AI for the smallest things without thinking twice. I’m not against tech and I know I’m lucky to even have the time to worry about this stuff, but it’s strange watching people in the same position not give it a thought. Feels like we’re heading toward higher electricity bills and maybe even blackouts if data centers keep draining the grid during heat waves. And honestly, the human brain part worries me too. One day I asked ChatGPT to help me figure out the time in another country during a work call, and it got it completely wrong twice, like confidently wrong. #Technology #Environment #AI #DataCenters #EnergySavings #ChatGPT 426Share
Michelle York+FollowMicroplastics Invade Pristine River?!Did you know even England’s cleanest rivers aren’t safe from microplastics? Researchers just found these tiny plastic bits at every spot they tested in the River Itchen—a chalk stream famous for its pure water and wildlife. It’s wild (and a little scary) to think our drinking water could be affected. The good news? Simple swaps like using less plastic and skipping fast fashion can help. Time to rethink those plastic habits! #Science #microplastics #environment10Share
