Pain Points
Key Issues & Concerns
Recurring problems and frustrations mentioned by your audience.
Difficulty avoiding microplastics in everyday items like bottled water and food packaging.
Severity: 8/10
50 mentions
Suggested Solution:
Provide a more comprehensive list of readily available alternatives for common items like bottled water and food containers, especially in regions where glass options are scarce.
Example: "How are you meant to limit getting water in plastic bottles when thats all they come in."
Uncertainty about the safety of certain materials like silicone or the effectiveness of some filtration systems (e.g., RO).
Severity: 7/10
20 mentions
Suggested Solution:
Dedicate a segment to clarifying the safety profiles of commonly used materials like silicone and provide a comparative analysis of different water filtration methods.
Example: "I have an RO system, but nearly all of the components are plastic so is it really preventing microplastic ingestion?"
Overwhelm and anxiety regarding the pervasiveness of microplastics.
Severity: 6/10
15 mentions
Suggested Solution:
Reiterate that small, consistent changes are impactful and emphasize a balanced approach to avoid burnout, perhaps by framing it as a long-term lifestyle shift rather than an immediate crisis.
Example: "If you don’t have time to watch I’ll sum it up, - We are all fucked"
