Great way to reach my daily micro plastic intake goals

Nearly all micro-plastics come from car tires 🤷

Oh, thank you. Luckily I grow my onions in motorcycle tyres and not car tires (which I now found out is the major contributor), which gives the onions a more unique and bituminous taste.

What he is saying is those bags aren't UV stable so the act of the sun beating on them will pollute the field and food with micro-plastics.

But why? And what's with bricks under the bags? I'm disturbed be the lack of reasoning provided in this video.
