  • There have been quite a few studies proving that there’s plastic pretty much everywhere. There have also been some studies showing sea animals that eat way too much plastic are clearly harmed by it. Now the next step is to find out if small quantities of tiny plastic bits are harmful to humans. Still waiting for that study before I start switching to glass containers.
