plastic shopping bags, plastic textile bags, nylon, polyester, food wrap, margarine tubs, most electronics, automobiles, electric bikes, pedal bikes, definitely tires, plastic sandwich bags, tea bags, pens, chewing gum, filters, plastic pill bottles, plastic syringes, plastic in diapers, plastic in bandages, plastic in tampons, use only glass bottles for shampoos and conditioners, non-plastic combs and brushes, (most) imitation leather, plastic election signs, plastic gardening pots and trays, plastic garden hoses, plastic piping, plastic fuel containers, plastic casings for batteries, plastic electric chords, plastic in masks for the next pandemic, etc.
Nah you’re right, you should just keep using the same old sunlight-degraded Fuji bottle you’ve been using. Who cares if you’re drinking polyethylene, hell boil some coffee in that bad boy. Fuck minimizing exposure, it’s nothing to me champ, drink up.
Those go into recycling, which, IIUC, mostly go into the landfill because Toronto doesn’t rigourously enforce preparing and sorting recyclables enough.
For a while I used a 1.5 liter vodka bottle (mostly as a lark) but it got broken.
Metal containers also aren’t transparent—I like to see what I’m drinking.
If re-use of plastic isn’t the answer, then recycling is definitely not the answer.
At least 8 billion humans must stop using plastic.
Perhaps a more realistic solution would be to sterilize humanity now: that way, by 2099, the environment will start to significantly improve.
Maybe, but such would be insufficient, IMO.
We must cease using all plastic:

well fuck.
