Yet another reason to quit buying so much bottled water
I guess. It seems like it doesn’t matter tho because it’s not just bottled water. It’s literally everything.
All the food you eat. Anything you drink. The air you breathe. The clothes you wear. Literally everything you interact with has some amount of plastic that you’re consuming.
You can put down the bottled water but the alternatives aren’t much better. Either way you’re being bombarded by microplastics.
Oh, How I long for the olden days... I would literally die for a fresh glass of water plucked from a local stream. The copious amounts of lead and mercury combine with the rich abundance of feces, microbacteria and other organic matter, to create a pure, natural live giving elixir.
Now all of that has been removed and replaced with modern plastic. No thanks
Would be nice if I could drink the tap water here
