    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.
