Plastic Pellet Surveillance: Big Brother Goes Grainy

In a jaw-dropping move, an unnamed company heroically agreed to install futuristic police—or should we say 'plastic pellet spotters'—to spy on microscopic pellets that apparently cause big environmental drama. No dates, no names, just an ultra-mysterious pact to watch grains of plastic like hawks, because apparently, tiny plastics are the new Big Brother stars. This pact is proof that sneak peeks into microplastic lives are the next tech frontier, even if no one knows exactly where or when this is happening, or what exactly these pellet-sniffing gizmos look like. The future is fuzzy but heavily surveilled.
