Diane Wilson, a former fisherwoman turned environmental activist, is leading the fight against nurdle pollution in Texas. These tiny plastic pellets, used in plastic production, are polluting waterways and harming wildlife and people. Wilson, who co-won a $50 million settlement against Formosa Plastics, is now suing Dow Chemical for similar discharges. The issue is gaining attention in Texas, with groups urging Governor Greg Abbott to ban nurdle discharges. Legislators are also stepping up, with California having anti-nurdle laws since 2007 and Texas Representative Erin Zwiener pushing for better tracking and audits at plastic plants. The plastics industrys voluntary program, Operation Clean Sweep, is criticized for lacking real oversight or penalties. Microplastics, including nurdles, are found in tap water, food, and air, with adults ingesting the equivalent of a credit card weekly. As beaches fill with pellets and economic stakes rise, pressure mounts for tougher rules to keep bays fishable and safe. Checkout Solipillow.com
