Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who don’t.
I’m no expert, but I’ve heard that it’s much worse when you reuse the same plastic bottle. Single use bottles are designed for single use, and they break down after multiple uses and increase your microplatic intake.
soap can really fuck up plastic, if you’re just rinsing but keeping it clean that’s probably less bad but i don’t know if “less” is enough. might depend on the kind of plastic and how much sun it gets.

Well fuck me I’ve been doing this for years. Goddamnit.
