I didn't mean that they would directly kill us.

The chemicals in plastic can cause reproductive issues, and there has already been a statistically significant decline in both testosterone levels and sperm health in men since they entered widespread use.

As plastics continue to degrade, we'll start to see the amount of microplastics in our bodies increase. And the production of those microplastics isn't stopping any time soon.

Humanity can survive the climate crisis for quite a long while, but only if we can keep making new humans.
