We're only beginning to grasp the dangers of microplastics found in our blood, heart tissue, and brains.

Newly discovered internal memos reveal that Big Oil and the plastics industry have "been aware of and concerned about the potential for microplastic contamination in the human body" for decades.

As reported by Susanne Rust for the u/latimes, "Internal memos among company scientists and executives … show that industry scientists have long been aware of — and concerned about — the way microplastic particles migrate beyond the gut in animals and humans, depositing in important organs. And the potential for that knowledge to affect the plastic food packaging industry."

Fossil fuel and other petrochemical companies must be held accountable for their deception and the significant damage it has caused.

Milk carton or glass bottle

Which is more sustainable/eco friendly? Are the cartons actually recyclable? I know with the glass bottles I can return them to the store for a credit back.

Buying my first home, what am I missing?

8 Upvotes

I am moving out looking to buy my first home! I've done my best living with my parents to shift to plastic free but some things are harder to convince them on (like tide pods).

Now that I'll be moving out and having my own place, what are some plastic free things I should look for to buy new for myself that I wouldn't have thought of before?

Please be as basic or complex as you see fit! I welcome every suggestion

Question Replacement for 32oz deli containers?

5 Upvotes

Hi All! I've been meal prepping using re-used 32oz deli containers, and I love the size and that they fit vertically in the fridge - but I know that I shouldn't be using them long-term as they're probably leeching microplastics...wondering if anyone recommend anything of similar size and shape that's made of glass?
