From a former subscriber. Is it safe having microplastics in our environment and our bodies? Try again WashPo.

How could wrapping any food in toxic chemicals be safe?

Is it safe? Why are companies creating and distributing unsafe products?

Even one time usage of plastic tools makes your body absorb microplastics which start accumulating in your body threatening it with serious health problems! Even 'MUSCLE T I S S U E' and plaque formations in 'V E S S E L S' SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO INCLUDE MICROPLASTICS! PLASTIC POLLUTION MUST END!

The article says that the risks come from microplastics. But is there any evidence that the risks from microplastics are any worse from reusing a single-use plastic item than from using multiple single-use items? If there's no evidence, then isn't this article pure speculation?

Proud of yourself for getting a serial liar, grifter, rapist and convicted felon into office?

If the reuse is unsafe then how do we figure the first use was safe? You’d think the water bottle would shed most of its sheddable particles the first time you use it, and that shedding would trail off with continued use. What have I missed?

I mean, don’t eat off of them but nothing wrong with using extra plastic bags for dog poop pickup

I'm listening.

I've been using one water bottle as a measuring device for over a decade. That's a problem?

Just ban it. Then it won't matter.

What's a good 👍 idea now ?

TLDR: Experts say no. WaPo you accidentally shared a paywalled article, oopsy! archive.ph/VoBgu

Plastics have infested every square micron of this planet. Manufacturers should be 100% responsible for all plastics they manufacture. And not just collecting it all and dumping it in the ocean. Actual disposal. It’s time oil companies paid for their crimes of polluting everything, even our blood
