    I realized when I was doing a long-overdue vacuuming... carpet from the 80s/90s/00s are almost certainly plastic based, aren't they?

      They're actually the worst. Your plastic water bottle isn't really making microplastics, it's your carpet.

        Synthetic fibers of all kinds. Polyester shirts and their consequences. Washing machines are basically micro-plastic generators.

        Also car tires from all the plastic additives that get powderized as the tire gets worn down.
