And those chemicals like phthalates, which make plastic bendy, are also associated with other issues like hormone disruption and fertility issues. So Yeah, I would say it is pretty fair to say that there are health problems linked to all this exposure. That personally makes me worried. Personally, but you're also worried for, like, your fellow human. Oh, I don't care about anybody else.

Yeah, I am worried. And, like, we do have chronic illness problems in the U.S. in... countries all over the world, like we know that chronic disease is getting worse over time in terms of like how many people have it. And I think that we should be looking at things like the spread of microplastics. Well, Benji, is there anything we can do about it? Yeah.

So, I mean, it's really easy to just feel kind of hopeless. And I do at times personally, but I like to look back at history and other environmental problems that we actually solved. So there are examples of problems. So like the ozone layer, that big giant hole in the ozone that was letting all this harmful solar radiation in. We like are on track to close that through regulations.

And then more relevant to this conversation is acid rain. So like in the 60s, 70s and 80s, acid rain was a huge environmental problem talked about by like congressmen, the public, et cetera. And we pretty much fixed that. I mean, it's not... fixed everywhere, but you don't really hear about acid rain anymore, and that's because it doesn't really exist, especially in the developed world.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say we have mostly fixed acid rain.

Okay, so acid rain, rain that is slightly acidic, like several times more acidic than regular rain. Probably not like... pure lemon juice, but maybe like lemonade or something slightly diluted. The rain was largely acidic because of a handful of gases, so sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which is nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide.
