Hopefully energy used will become less important. CO2 emissions seem like the biggest threat to our long term health. Microplastics also matter, a bit. How much plastic is escaping into the environment from the recycling process vs. landf

At least it's formatted readably and they took the time to ask the AI to make it less AI-like. The tone is annoying but I try to focus on the message and not how it's communicated. You'd think making AI do the annoying integ
