I’ve been thinking about this especially as tariffs are set to make non-plastic even more expensive, and we’re going to see EVEN MORE products that traditionally were glass/aluminum become plastic…Not just from an ‘ecowarrior’ thing but micro/nanoplastic pollution, what are your tips to avoid plastic packages as it seems increasingly the ‘only’ option for so many products now… even 75% of veggies at my local super are plastic wrapped with no alternative!!! Yes, I use the bulk section… what other tips/hacks do you have, if any?
You seem to know this, I’ve heard that bottled water is the biggest culprit, responsible for like 90% of microplastic intake. Does the same go for other drinks in plastic bottles, like soda and juice?
The type of liquid should not make much difference. It’s basically inescapable. At this point there’s not much left to do except cross fingers.
Or drink tap water, which has far less of it and is obviously much better for the environment. To lose excess chlorine, just let the water stand overnight.
