@theguardian.com It's time that you stopped giving oxygen to Donald Trump. There's no such thing as bad PR. The constant visibility you give him is exactly what he craves: attention. (Unless it's Epstein.) It normalises what by any standards is outrageous behaviour from a head of state.

When people refer to a green backlash, they actually mean a human existential backlash. Let's start removing the future of humanity from politicised labelling and call it what it is.

Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased.
