I am busy and don’t have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.
What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?
Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don’t use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

They do still contain a good portion of rubber; the natural type farmed from trees.
Is that why they can still call themselves “rubber”?
I had a similar thought, but when I looked into it, the difference between natural and oil based rubber is not significant. Natural rubber would be just as bad.

It’s a polymer just like synthetic rubber. It isn’t like other natural products. Wood can rot because it’s made of cellulose, but rubber can’t. Nothing eats it.
