    Well, the signals aren’t. But all those Nokias and Motorolas and Blackberries breaking down in landfills and turning into microplastics that infest our bodies… The jury is still out on that one.

      Most of the microplastics in human bodies come from the wearing down of car and truck tires.

      Yeah, I think microplatics are whats gonna kill us (well besides climate change).

      It’s just gonna keep building up in our systems and the environment until critacal mass.

        It’s going to kill poor folks. Rich people will have the better filter installations to keep micro plastics out.
