    nowhere did I say this guy does something that is worse than littering

    Huh?

    I collected over 2000 bottles

    recycling plastic releases even more microplastics

    Certainly sounds like you’re saying people shouldn’t collect litter.

    Look, I get it. Plastics suck. Plastic companies are bullshit and twist shit around to make the consumer out to be the bad guy. But when you said recycling releases even more microplastics in response to someone saying they collected over 2000 pieces of trash it sounds like you’re saying they shouldn’t do that. That isn’t a logical fallacy, that is how communication works. An activity was mentioned and you criticized the activity. It is reasonable to assume you mean they shouldn’t have done the activity.

    If that’s not what you intend then you should say something like “collecting litter is good, …” to make it clear that you aren’t saying they shouldn’t have collected litter.
