I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

Become a communist and start advocating for workers to run the economy because we wouldn't fuck ourselves over like capitalists will.

Afaik it tends to concentrate further up the foodchain, so keeping meat, especially fish, out of your diet will help. Particularly filter feeders like shrimp and anything that eats those.

I'd also like to add that wrapping food in plastic reduces waste considerably, so you might want to look into that and balance your view against that.

In what way does wrapping food in plastic reduce waste?

Read a material science book. Then think about exposure anytime you see plastic.
