My own attitude toward recycling is best described as:

Skeptical – I don’t believe it happens or makes much of a difference

Resigned – it’s the law and/or something I do automatically now

Positive – it makes me feel good to do the right thing

Enthusiastic – I find ways to reuse, do more and encourage others

Dedicated – I do it all the time and think that people who don’t are breaking the social contract

None of the above

Clear selection

If ingesting microplastics turns out to be the cause of a serious health problem, I would:

Dramatically change the way I eat and drink

Contact my representatives to ask for laws to change the way corporations can process food and drink

Be open to joining a class-action lawsuit to recover damages

Spread the word to friends and family

Go about my day because there are just so many other things to worry about
