I don’t know the exact sources and that’s what we should be studying. For all we know it’s tires to roadways to rain runoff that makes it into ground water or bodies of water that we eventually treat for drinking.

Fair point. Needs more study before dummies like me make assumptions.

(Still not buying any Tupperware, though).

Me too! I use glass at home.

That’s a fair point reusable containers are a great candidate for replacement with glass. You are right overall though we definitely seem to be polluting our environment with plastics that will never go away.

Use the same rule for tupperware that you apply to shirts! I store and buy food in plastic containers often, but I always move it onto a ceramic dish before I microwave it.

Ditto here but only recently. Currently working all the plastic I can put of my food prep workflow. Insidious situation we find ourselves in.
