You’re talking like .01% as much plastic use per liter as plastic bottle water packs. Is that not…much much better?

I’m not sure how much microplastics are released in that way. It can be better than bottles, but if we used non plastic materials for so long, and it worked fine, I see no reason to put plastic in there.

It’s like it in that this is true, but there’s a big, big, big difference in how big a deal a given amount being in our systems is.
