Partial quote: "Tuesday 5 September 2017 19.01 EDT
Exclusive: Tests show billions of people globally are drinking water contaminated by plastic particles, with 83% of samples found to be polluted.
Microplastic contamination has been found in tap water in countries around the world, leading to calls from scientists for urgent research on the implications for health....
The US had the highest contamination rate, at 94%, with plastic fibres found in tap water sampled at sites including Congress buildings, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters, and Trump Tower in New York. Lebanon and India had the next highest rates....
Bottled water may not provide a microplastic-free alternative to tapwater, as the they were also found in a few samples of commercial bottled water tested in the US for Orb....
Almost 300m tonnes of plastic is produced each year and, with just 20% recycled or incinerated, much of it ends up littering the air, land and sea. A report in July found 8.3bn tonnes of plastic has been produced since the 1950s, with the researchers warning that plastic waste has become ubiquitous in the environment...."
More, much more, at link.

I wonder if distilling gets rid of these particles or not? What filters would work to get rid of the plastics in the water. We have to stop these overwhelming pollution(s) of our basic resources or we are going down and take out all the other animals with us. What to do? It seems the responses for activism are soooooo small, they are ignored by the monied puppeteers!

Polydactyl:
This filter will remedy that problem and a host of other
water problems:

Monsanto began it at Disneyland, world of Tomorrow, remember TomorrowLand? Yuck. And now they run our world of foods. I seldom went to Disneyland, maybe 3 times in my life. Everytime I went, it just gave me the creeps. We could have accomplished so much more and with less pollution with Hemp, but no... they decided for us what we "needed" and still do.

I was not knowing there was a place like that in Disneyland or the
Monsanto connection ...but it reminded me of this story I read
about the abandoned UFO village in Taiwan. I found a youtube
link on it (am sharing the short version above)...the abandoned
plastic UFO homes are there just taking forever to decompose. I
went to Disney World one too many times the first 5 yrs when I
first moved to FL, mostly visiting guests wanted to go or to meet
up there. I have not been there in 17 yrs. Every time I did go after
the first time it felt like groundhog day and so hot with all that
plastic and cement, and the long lines...the heat...not my kind of
fun.

I tried to put the video in the post so you could just click on it.
I still don't know how to do that, obviously.
Here's THE LINK.

Jeff taught me how, we both have apple computing gizmos.
Go to the youtube link and left click on "share" then left click on
"embed" and copy that addy to the body of the post...(the embed
link will start out with the word "frame" and end with the word
"frame" and has < , > brackets on each end of the embed
address).
Then you gotta stretch out the link until it fits on one line and you
do that by placing your mouse on the /// looking mark in the
bottom right corner of the post box and pull your mouse to the
right to stretch out the link to one line ...Preview it and it should
be a blank white space and then post it. (that's the best
explaining I can do hope it helps...may take a test or two).

Thanks, Eve.
I'll try it soon.
But, oh, that does sound complicated.

Hi Shirley,
I found the link where Jeff explained it to me. At first I missed and
the second time it worked but I had to be in the right frame of
mind (pun intended :0)
