It works through Trophic Transfer. Plastic waste breaks down into the soil and water. It is eaten by fish or absorbed by plants, and then you eat the fish or plant, trapping the plastic inside you.
You pay the Inflammation Tax. Foreign objects in the body cause constant swelling and sickness. You spend money on doctors to treat "mystery" illnesses that are actually caused by plastic toxicity.
It causes Endocrine Hijacking. Many plastics act like fake hormones (especially estrogen). This confuses your body, leading to lower fertility, reproductive problems, and higher cancer rates.
Global Saturation. There is no place left on Earth that is clean. Microplastics have been found in the deepest parts of the ocean, on top of Mount Everest, and even in the placentas of unborn babies.
The Glitch is The Sterility Loop. We built a world of plastic for cheap convenience, but the hidden cost is that the material itself is slowly making it harder for the human species to reproduce.
