    Chess pieces made out of stone. Stone is not recyclable or biodegradable or compostable. If you throw them in the landfill they will be there for millions of years. This is a pretty minor spill though.

      It’s really disgusting how people just toss their old used stones out into the wilderness like they’re just rocks or something… Smh damn litterbugs

        Microstone is everywhere. Soon most of the planet’s beaches will be covered with teeny tiny rocks.

          microstone pollution

          A.k.a. sand? It’s terrible stuff. It’s coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere…

            The ocean is full of it and our beaches are awash with the stuff.

            Probably not crossing the blood-brain barrier or placenta, I’ll give it that. But yes it can get itchy
