microplastics in the arctic snow (and everywhere else) Also groundwater depletion of major aquifers (US & worldwide): https://www.motherjones.com/wp-content/uploads/watermap_white_cp.png (and I don't think that's even that recent an image).
We lost on the microplastics file, even with a perfect coordinated response now that shit is staying in the biosphere for thousands of years and it's going to remain in all of our water and bodies for the foreseeable future. All we can do now is mitigate the damage and try to stop putting more out there.
