Ah, the classic “I’ll just buy plastic bottles” move. You’re trying to escape microplastics, so you drink from a plastic bottle? That’s like running from a rainstorm into a swimming pool. Studies show bottled water often contains more microplastics than tap water.
The plastic bottle itself sheds particles into the water, especially when it’s sitting in a hot truck or on a sunny shelf. Your refrigerator filter, flawed as it is, is still better than a stream of particles from a single-use bottle. So your fridge filter might be a lazy dog, but it’s better than a plastic straw factory.
