Limits to growth called this. Chapter 4. Pollution ends up becoming the limiting factor far sooner than any other constraint in most of their model runs.

This is one of the most depressing stories I read about the state of our planet in a while, especially because this is happening in a remote place.
If anyone needs an uplifting story you could visit https://theoceancleanup.com/, they’ve been doing great work and doing more and more every year. Also if you have some left over money please check it out.
My dogs would love one of these!
No, but seriously, this sucks.
Every 100th bird has a squeaker inside!
Those plastic dog toys are kinda part of the problem. They don’t last long before they’re off to the dump, and a lot of small bits that break off get swallowed by the pooch.
My dogs (rip) always loved bones, dry pigs ears, goat horns - natural items. We don’t need the consumerist plastic crap they push on us.
Macro plastics 😞
Who knew beanie babies were a prophetic warning
I’ve never been anyplace where you can just touch a wild bird, let alone determine they make a crunching sound when touched!
