I’m being hyperbolic, but TikTok just re-radicalized me and in ADHD energy mode and I know this urgency won’t last forever. I hate when things I’m around feel contaminated by toxins and I already wear a mask for the polluted air. I hate getting rid of things that might be useful, but also plastics bad so it might be useful. I do have OCD, but this isn’t about that it’s an exaggerated but rational urge. I realize this account’s lib asking you to “vote with your dollar,” but for personal health what do you think? I can afford this eventually. I’m clearly monotropism spiraling but it’s fun.
Also, should we stop recycling plastic if the product will be worse?
Limit the scope of the problem to what’s immediately manageable and most relevant. What specific things do you think are likely to be causing you problems? Clothes, bottles, plastic plates, etc? Anything that you want to be food safe is probably worth replacing. Furniture and anything inert in your living spaces should be evaluated in a case by case basis.
You’re right. I’m seeing it everywhere now and getting overwhelmed. How tf does one have a non plastic plastic phone case, and aren’t cloth face masks less effective?
