As a person who is staying in a rented apartment in the US, and who has been drinking plastic bottled water for the last few years (setting up an RO system in a rented apartment here is a nightmare), I am a lot more worried now 😟
Thank you! This is what Ive been looking for. While its not worth a worry in terms of health, some of us privileged still need to fight for more care in its use and handling of waste.
I kind of expected you will make video on this. I still have skepticism on this. Would be great if you can share some research papers to back it up. I am interested to read them.

i choose the first. realised back in 2009 no use of sitting in a cubical and being sick later in life. I quit my job and left Bombay for good. we breath almost 20kg of air a day. Where as most people eat and drink approx 2 kg of each. So anyday living in a country side is better option.
We don't really need that much money when not living in a city. I quit my corporate job and moved to my home town. It cured my hypertension and dyslipidemia. I earn a lot less but it's enough. There are even business opportunities that are not possible in a highly competitive city.

May be influencers are asking us to not use plastic products not for reducing personal exposure but overall human exposure. After all it is this plastic that is going to air and water.
And it takes a huge degree of suspension of belief in the evolutionary process to imagine that merely because we have not figured out how it affects us, continuous exposure to a complete alien set of materials (add PFAs too) will not affect our biology.
@@manurazgoit PFAS and microplastics are an issue even in the remotest parts of the world. It's not about "not/affecting me" but what we're leaving behind for the coming generations.
@@getsameer No where in this video it is said the micro plastics won't affect us. It just says that "we still don't know". How do you call some thing as harmful even before some research is done on that particular product?What if plastic remains in our body as a non affecting inert matter?Why create panic without knowing anything? Those dooms day prophets creating panic among masses are almost ignorant about the effects(or no effects) of micro plastic on human body.
Please make a video on how do you research such topics, it would help us folks to understand and stay correctly informed about the science behind different aspects of physical reality

@@familyforonehumanity5630 you have been too harsh on him. He has clearly given sources based on published articles with RCTs. What more else do you need? Let us know….
The fact and the fiction - classic sarcasm in the video also - really necessary also Krish.. I have been using plastics myself as like you said - no evidence..It is only that my creativity for food and combined with madness to it has led me to using copper and other types of vessels and fancy utensils - Else - regular routine - all plastics.. Completely agreed with you on this.. Cheers..
From what I have read, a litre of bottled water contains around 0.25 Million micro-/nano- plastics. On the other hand, certain types of tea bags have been found to release several Billions of micro-/nano- plastics per cup. What is your opinion on this? Would be great if you could touch upon this in a TH-cam short.
30-40% from water, so just use RO water! That sounds like an elitist attitude, and something Nirmala Sitharaman would say - people are dying while working 16-18 hrs a day continuously because they don't do yoga or trust in god to cope with work stress. What percent of the population actually has access to RO water? So, shouldn't we all do our bit to reduce plastic production and use? What about the other species on our planet. Don't they deserve cleaner water? Shouldn't the whole problem be tackled from the top where we produce inordinate amount of plastic with no thought about what we are leaving behind for generations to come? Already there is an island of plastic garbage in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It is our responsibility NOW to reduce plastic use and not have a "chalta hai" attitude since it won't do us harm or since there is currently no evidence of it causing cancer, endocrine issues, etc.
@@sanjayyethipathi In an ideal world, yes. However, cheap plastics have proliferated every corner of the world, including 3rd world countries where there are absolutely no means of recycling. All the waste either goes into landfilss and leech into the ground water, or go into the oceans and create garbage islands as we see in the Pacific Ocean. Even in India, just look at all the major cities and the amount of plastic waste generated, which goes into dumps just outside all of our cities.
He's not endorsing plastic, he's only debunking the scare around micro plastics on health. He also very clearly and sarcastically pointed to humans pathetically littering land and then worrying about microplastics.
It is my music studio which is why it’s busy. Living room has noise issues and I can only record during daylight. All these are compromises because this is not my day job 😅 but I am working on stealing a room in my moms place and turning that into a more minimalist setup
Hi Krish, Wonderful content and really informative. When you mentioned bottled drinking water, how about the Bisleri 20 litre cans which are ozonised water with minerals? Am concerned with the plastic cans in which they come in. Are they safe to consume?

Thanks for a super informative video! Really intriguing. Could you please point me to the study that specifically discusses the percentage split of sources of how microplastics enter our bodies - I had a quick look through the linked studies but may have missed it.
I swear I have got many of these microplastic fearmongering videos up on my feed but i have never ever clicked on any of them, because I know what kind of content they will share, but I clicked immediately as soon as i saw your video popped up to my feed because i know there won't be any BS even to the slightest .love ur videos😀😀
No direct harm to human health was considered for cigarettes as well in 1950s. How are all your videos in only one direction, just because there’s no evidence of harm does not mean it’s safe. Also, percentages would significantly change if a person is using RO like you said. So make that 50% to nearly 2% and then we’ll have much higher percentages of micro plastic from the other sources.
@@SwetankAmbar Cigarette is voluntary habit.Not comparable to micro plastic issue which is social,local,global. Again,the restrictions on cigarette or tobacco are disproportionally harsh.It is also said that not even one case could be conclusively proved that cigarette causes lung cancer.
There is no conclusionary evidence for cigarettes or smoking as well. All evidence is circumstancial, but it's like too much of this type of evidence exists, Google Japanese Smoking Paradox .
@@SwetankAmbar we take in hundreds of "unknown" things knowingly or unknowlyingly.creating panic without really knowing any thing about a substance is antisocial behaviour. we lived with micro plastics for at least 7-8 decades.Research is going on but nothing adverse is seen till date. Let research continue.Why create baseless panic?
Yes, plastics in water & air are a v big concern. While I may not have control over oceans & factories, I can still control the 1% that enters my home, that enters my/ my loved ones bodies. Just bcoz there's a mightier problem out there, I don't have to ignore & add 1% more to it. I will definitely eliminate plastic containers from my kitchen, food packaged in plastic containers, etc As an individual, everyone can make this difference, however small it may be. So let's not be cynical about it. Let us not distort every right/ good advice given. Let's do the right thing.
In almost every RO, to improve the taste only part of water is filtered through RO membrane, a significant part is bypassed through UF filters and added back to the final filtered water
I have seen masala corroding the silver lining in the store bought packet , if stored for a long time. Kept out all plastics in kitchen (except kids tiffin box for snacks) and replaced them with glass and stainless steel. In Germany most plastics are collected for recycling, although not sure about how efficiently they are recycled. In India, people take plastic for granted and reuse non food grade plastics, make them dirty, dont recycle them . I could see people throwing plastic cover everywhere and don't feel guilty about it.
Could you make a similar video on growth hormones in chicken/meat and mercury content in fish? How concerned should we be, or is it blown out of proportion? Loving your channel!
Thanks for this fantastic video. Just to be clear, when you say avoid bottled water, you mean packaged water from the shop or using plastic bottles in daily use?
Another superb video “More money usually means the ability and privilege to worry about actually trivial things..” So true.. What’s your opinion on the issue of ‘absorption of micro plastics through skin while using synthetic clothes/ activewear’?
Very positive videos but there is a great increase in Health problems, seen personally by Everyone, young people suffering Heart Attacks in their 20's.
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 You're like a soothing balm in today's crazy world of social media influencers! One question, though: When you say bottled water, does it include RO water that we store in plastic water bottles like Pearl Pet at home?
8:23 my chitthi who was distant from us who worked in a factory which manufactures plastic goods died of throat cancer which was very disturbing then. Slow but gradual exposure has an impact. We can’t cleanse the air we breath, cleanse underground water and avoid its stagnation through pvc pipes , But can cleanse the water in our counter top using copper plate, Dr khadar claims that it absorbs micro plastics and heavy metals. Need to soak in pot of water overnight and clean with tamarind/lemon +salt next day. And can avoid storing water in plastic bottles. Storing water or hot food in plastic containers ( including tupperware)
Lack of evidence at this juncture, does not essentially guarantee that there is no harm,neither does it rule out the possibility of a probable harm subsequently. Fallacy of statistics is that it relies on a large set of data that unequivocally leans towards causality,and the time and accuracy for that data to come out is marred by innumerable confounders. Even though the exposure is regarded is low,the cumulative effect of low exposure over the years is another aspect that needs to be explored and explained.
Why did I know what your answer was going to be even before watching the video? Because answer to scare mongering is always "don't break your head". But here not for the answer, but for the t-shirts!
I liked the video, genuinely! I get the point that he wants to say microplastics are not necessarily harming you. But yaar, where microplastics come from, they are not created out of thin air. They have come into the picture because we have been causing plastic pollution for a hundred years now. The point is to reduce plastic consumption, not as food, but as daily use, that is how you can at least stabilize microplastic content. So, please avoid packaged foods, not in the context of food, but the package that you through in the trash. So, please don't IGNORE. Infant brain/placenta has microplastics. Common man! I am not in for scaremongering, but normalizing these is not helping the big picture. I agree with his last point where he says, to reduce plastic at a personal level. Currently studying in the US, I can see how this poses a global problem. And the current levels of LOW, are "current" not forever, the levels rise in plastic use, the day is not far, when these might pose a serious problem.
Enlightening!!!! Is it possible to do a video on structured water using copper plates? There are many videos on this...however, one wonder whether there is any truth behind this. Thank you Krish!!!
Thanks for the effort you put into these videos, we novices get to consume (minus the microplastics😂) in a very palpable form, i had a quick question though, aren't the water cans we order at home also RO filtered?
Whether or not plastics (microplastics for that matter) cause ill-health,directly or indirectly; the need to reduce unnecessary plastic usage is the need of the hour to save our environment. Use of plastics wherever inevitable is fine, for example healthcare.
There is a reason they are called forever chemicals. Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean we can just keep going. Everything has wear and tear. That’s why they tell to use silver utilities so we ingest silver nano particles for good health. There is a difference between ingesting plastic and ingesting silver
This is pretty much what I suspected; just like the pesticide scaremongering. It would take some pretty well-researched data that something is genuinely harmful to human health to put the shits up me these days.
Given the scale of the problem and the indiscriminate production and use of plastic, I think some amount of fearmongering could actually be beneficial to the cause. If it will make people consume less plastic. This kind of myth-breaking could actually encourage complacency.
Informative . Succint. We see the angle. But what about our friends in the sea? Here in Msia most of supermarkets and shops do not provide plastic bags anymore. And some cafes are already serving drinks with organic straw made from rice. They are mostly saying no to plastic. And what about the horror of burning plastic in landfills. Even if micro plastic is evidently not harmful generally can we generally go on with the massive use of plastic itself?
Even in the RO filter water is stored in a plastic container. Also we collect the water in plastic bottles for ease of use. Does this mean you cant reduce microplastic consumption even with RO filter?
Thanks for this video! I am asking because it was not mentioned specifically in the video. Is there any difference in using plastic cutting board vs wooden on this matter?
Nice Krish! The RO filter I'm sort of not convinced, even though it's filter water - the water stays in RO collector for long enough isn't that the same as bottled water?? 🤔🤔

Thank you so much for clarifying videos❤️🙏🏻
Can you explain about aluminum cans with tomato paste and other canned foods risks? Thank you🙏🏻
Atleast people had some reason to reduce the plastic use. Carry cloth bag and order less from online. You removed that reason too. All this plastic reaching the oyesters, stomach of cows and crows and dogs. And yes, pls look at the landfills
proper disposing of plastic and recycling is the solution to what you are saying, not its usage. what do you think?

@@sanjayyethipathireducing the use of plastic is much better and easier than managing it
This guy is a national treasure. Such an informative video!
As a person who is staying in a rented apartment in the US, and who has been drinking plastic bottled water for the last few years (setting up an RO system in a rented apartment here is a nightmare), I am a lot more worried now 😟
Again - don’t break your head. As I said - the evidence is still weak. And unless your room temperature is hot/warm this is less of an issue
Thank you for clearing many doubts about the usage of plastics, which is inevitable in our daily life
I want to move to Finland and listen to Krish Ashok.
Habitat Loss is my problem
Haha
Thanks Krish, very informative
My pleasure
Thank you! This is what Ive been looking for.
While its not worth a worry in terms of health, some of us privileged still need to fight for more care in its use and handling of waste.
Sir, I like your attitude. Simply great! ❤
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the very useful and informative presentation,sir🙏
I kind of expected you will make video on this. I still have skepticism on this. Would be great if you can share some research papers to back it up. I am interested to read them.

Irony is that a city person tries to live in village (for health) where as a village person loves to live in city (for money)
Most people will pick the latter though
A rich city dweller likes to live in a village but a poor city dweller is less likely to live in a village! Financial stability is important.
i choose the first.
realised back in 2009 no use of sitting in a cubical and being sick later in life. I quit my job and left Bombay for good.
we breath almost 20kg of air a day. Where as most people eat and drink approx 2 kg of each.
So anyday living in a country side is better option.
We don't really need that much money when not living in a city. I quit my corporate job and moved to my home town. It cured my hypertension and dyslipidemia. I earn a lot less but it's enough.
There are even business opportunities that are not possible in a highly competitive city.

May be influencers are asking us to not use plastic products not for reducing personal exposure but overall human exposure. After all it is this plastic that is going to air and water.
True, but that’s certainly not what they claim.
But r we reducing the usage. We are not. The policy have to be implemented industrially first.

Thank you for this video. Love your explanation as always. I can’t see join button thou
So relieved! and more sense of responsibility now ❤
And it takes a huge degree of suspension of belief in the evolutionary process to imagine that merely because we have not figured out how it affects us, continuous exposure to a complete alien set of materials (add PFAs too) will not affect our biology.
yeah you can but can you stop breathing???
or translocate to nordic countries( most of us cannt)
@@manurazgoit PFAS and microplastics are an issue even in the remotest parts of the world. It's not about "not/affecting me" but what we're leaving behind for the coming generations.
@@getsameer well I prefer control what can be controlled
@@manurazgoitThat's why we've to cut plastic usage aggressively. At least in our home, we can try to be relatively plastic free
@@getsameer No where in this video it is said the micro plastics won't affect us.
It just says that "we still don't know".
How do you call some thing as harmful even before some research is done on that particular product?What if plastic remains in our body as a non affecting inert matter?Why create panic without knowing anything?
Those dooms day prophets creating panic among masses are almost ignorant about the effects(or no effects) of micro plastic on human body.
Only today I watched the video. Great Great relief.....................Thank you sir.
Very rightly conveyed Sir 😎👍🏼
Please make a video on how do you research such topics, it would help us folks to understand and stay correctly informed about the science behind different aspects of physical reality

You are on a one-man mission to scare the fear mongers who go on and on about microplastics and its horror. Thank you for this Krish!
Your way of providing the citations to the fact nd conclusions.... It had me follow you !! More
You hit the bulls eye sir.
So spot on. Specially last few minutes.
I was sceptical of the news and study recently came. Also was aware of the fearmongers. Thanks for the video krish.
Thank you!
I was unable to find you studies in description. Please add it. Again you are doing a great job 👍@@krishashok
The fact and the fiction - classic sarcasm in the video also - really necessary also Krish..
I have been using plastics myself as like you said - no evidence..It is only that my creativity for food and combined with madness to it has led me to using copper and other types of vessels and fancy utensils - Else - regular routine - all plastics..
Completely agreed with you on this..
Cheers..
Thank you!
Perfectly researched!
Much needed video, thanks for doing this, added to watch later.. will see as soon as i can!
listened from start to the end great work, thanks.
Thanks for the information very helpful & useful
Love the logical way you structure your content. Is there any website where we can read the references or papers you do research from.
He did mention the papers he did his research with are listed in the blue section. Just click to expand it.
@@thaisstone5192 thank you
From what I have read, a litre of bottled water contains around 0.25 Million micro-/nano- plastics.
On the other hand, certain types of tea bags have been found to release several Billions of micro-/nano- plastics per cup.
What is your opinion on this? Would be great if you could touch upon this in a TH-cam short.
30-40% from water, so just use RO water! That sounds like an elitist attitude, and something Nirmala Sitharaman would say - people are dying while working 16-18 hrs a day continuously because they don't do yoga or trust in god to cope with work stress. What percent of the population actually has access to RO water? So, shouldn't we all do our bit to reduce plastic production and use? What about the other species on our planet. Don't they deserve cleaner water? Shouldn't the whole problem be tackled from the top where we produce inordinate amount of plastic with no thought about what we are leaving behind for generations to come? Already there is an island of plastic garbage in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It is our responsibility NOW to reduce plastic use and not have a "chalta hai" attitude since it won't do us harm or since there is currently no evidence of it causing cancer, endocrine issues, etc.
proper disposing of plastic and recycling is the solution to what you are saying, not its usage. what do you think?
@@sanjayyethipathi In an ideal world, yes. However, cheap plastics have proliferated every corner of the world, including 3rd world countries where there are absolutely no means of recycling. All the waste either goes into landfilss and leech into the ground water, or go into the oceans and create garbage islands as we see in the Pacific Ocean. Even in India, just look at all the major cities and the amount of plastic waste generated, which goes into dumps just outside all of our cities.
He's not endorsing plastic, he's only debunking the scare around micro plastics on health. He also very clearly and sarcastically pointed to humans pathetically littering land and then worrying about microplastics.
Krish, it would be better if could change your studio setup. It is so busy and draws too much attention. Your living is perfect. Btw great video
It is my music studio which is why it’s busy. Living room has noise issues and I can only record during daylight. All these are compromises because this is not my day job 😅 but I am working on stealing a room in my moms place and turning that into a more minimalist setup
Hi Krish,
Wonderful content and really informative. When you mentioned bottled drinking water, how about the Bisleri 20 litre cans which are ozonised water with minerals? Am concerned with the plastic cans in which they come in. Are they safe to consume?
Research papers are Krish's Achilles heels.

Thanks for a super informative video! Really intriguing. Could you please point me to the study that specifically discusses the percentage split of sources of how microplastics enter our bodies - I had a quick look through the linked studies but may have missed it.
Thanks dear Krish Ashok.
Thank you!
I swear I have got many of these microplastic fearmongering videos up on my feed but i have never ever clicked on any of them, because I know what kind of content they will share, but I clicked immediately as soon as i saw your video popped up to my feed because i know there won't be any BS even to the slightest .love ur videos😀😀
No direct harm to human health was considered for cigarettes as well in 1950s.
How are all your videos in only one direction, just because there’s no evidence of harm does not mean it’s safe.
Also, percentages would significantly change if a person is using RO like you said. So make that 50% to nearly 2% and then we’ll have much higher percentages of micro plastic from the other sources.
@@SwetankAmbar Cigarette is voluntary habit.Not comparable to micro plastic issue which is social,local,global.
Again,the restrictions on cigarette or tobacco are disproportionally harsh.It is also said that not even one case could be conclusively proved that cigarette causes lung cancer.
There is no conclusionary evidence for cigarettes or smoking as well. All evidence is circumstancial, but it's like too much of this type of evidence exists, Google Japanese Smoking Paradox .
@@gangadharhiremath7306 I am not comparing these two. It’s the approach towards unknown substances that’s in question.
Please read my comment again.
@@SwetankAmbar we take in hundreds of "unknown" things knowingly or unknowlyingly.creating panic without really knowing any thing about a substance is antisocial behaviour.
we lived with micro plastics for at least 7-8 decades.Research is going on but nothing adverse is seen till date.
Let research continue.Why create baseless panic?

Thank you Krish Sir.. I was waiting you would talk about microplastic from chopping boards in kitchens
Don't break your head. Very trivial

Welcome
Yes, plastics in water & air are a v big concern. While I may not have control over oceans & factories, I can still control the 1% that enters my home, that enters my/ my loved ones bodies. Just bcoz there's a mightier problem out there, I don't have to ignore & add 1% more to it. I will definitely eliminate plastic containers from my kitchen, food packaged in plastic containers, etc As an individual, everyone can make this difference, however small it may be. So let's not be cynical about it. Let us not distort every right/ good advice given. Let's do the right thing.
Thanks sir,,, real educational video
Welcome
In almost every RO, to improve the taste only part of water is filtered through RO membrane, a significant part is bypassed through UF filters and added back to the final filtered water
I have seen masala corroding the silver lining in the store bought packet , if stored for a long time.
Kept out all plastics in kitchen (except kids tiffin box for snacks) and replaced them with glass and stainless steel.
In Germany most plastics are collected for recycling, although not sure about how efficiently they are recycled.
In India, people take plastic for granted and reuse non food grade plastics, make them dirty, dont recycle them .
I could see people throwing plastic cover everywhere and don't feel guilty about it.
Could you make a similar video on growth hormones in chicken/meat and mercury content in fish? How concerned should we be, or is it blown out of proportion? Loving your channel!
Came for the science, subbed for the Everything everywhere all at once reference ❤😂
Thanks for this fantastic video. Just to be clear, when you say avoid bottled water, you mean packaged water from the shop or using plastic bottles in daily use?
Nice presentation. Lots of food for thought. Thanks.
Thank you!
Another superb video
“More money usually means the ability and privilege to worry about actually trivial things..”
So true..
What’s your opinion on the issue of ‘absorption of micro plastics through skin while using synthetic clothes/ activewear’?
Thank you so much for this content..very much useful 😊
Very positive videos but there is a great increase in Health problems, seen personally by Everyone, young people suffering Heart Attacks in their 20's.
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏
You're like a soothing balm in today's crazy world of social media influencers!
One question, though: When you say bottled water, does it include RO water that we store in plastic water bottles like Pearl Pet at home?
8:23 my chitthi who was distant from us who worked in a factory which manufactures plastic goods died of throat cancer which was very disturbing then. Slow but gradual exposure has an impact. We can’t cleanse the air we breath, cleanse underground water and avoid its stagnation through pvc pipes , But can cleanse the water in our counter top using copper plate, Dr khadar claims that it absorbs micro plastics and heavy metals. Need to soak in pot of water overnight and clean with tamarind/lemon +salt next day. And can avoid storing water in plastic bottles. Storing water or hot food in plastic containers ( including tupperware)
Another gem.. Thank you
Thankyou soooooo much.
Very informative👍
Lack of evidence at this juncture, does not essentially guarantee that there is no harm,neither does it rule out the possibility of a probable harm subsequently.
Fallacy of statistics is that it relies on a large set of data that unequivocally leans towards causality,and the time and accuracy for that data to come out is marred by innumerable confounders.
Even though the exposure is regarded is low,the cumulative effect of low exposure over the years is another aspect that needs to be explored and explained.
Nice Info on Plastics
Thanks
Why did I know what your answer was going to be even before watching the video? Because answer to scare mongering is always "don't break your head". But here not for the answer, but for the t-shirts!
I was waiting, exactly for this..
Micro plastics in blood, brain and testicles.. Questioning our existence.
Yep.
Misogynist why didnt you mention ovaries?!!?!?
I liked the video, genuinely! I get the point that he wants to say microplastics are not necessarily harming you. But yaar, where microplastics come from, they are not created out of thin air. They have come into the picture because we have been causing plastic pollution for a hundred years now. The point is to reduce plastic consumption, not as food, but as daily use, that is how you can at least stabilize microplastic content. So, please avoid packaged foods, not in the context of food, but the package that you through in the trash. So, please don't IGNORE. Infant brain/placenta has microplastics. Common man! I am not in for scaremongering, but normalizing these is not helping the big picture. I agree with his last point where he says, to reduce plastic at a personal level. Currently studying in the US, I can see how this poses a global problem. And the current levels of LOW, are "current" not forever, the levels rise in plastic use, the day is not far, when these might pose a serious problem.
Good information ✌️
4:29” hill station pic is of nainital (uttarakhand)
Enlightening!!!! Is it possible to do a video on structured water using copper plates? There are many videos on this...however, one wonder whether there is any truth behind this. Thank you Krish!!!
Thanks for the effort you put into these videos, we novices get to consume (minus the microplastics😂) in a very palpable form, i had a quick question though, aren't the water cans we order at home also RO filtered?
தெய்வமே ❤
There are many startups who are finding substitutes for plastics. One day they will boom
I hope so!
Whether or not plastics (microplastics for that matter) cause ill-health,directly or indirectly; the need to reduce unnecessary plastic usage is the need of the hour to save our environment.
Use of plastics wherever inevitable is fine, for example healthcare.
There is a reason they are called forever chemicals. Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean we can just keep going. Everything has wear and tear. That’s why they tell to use silver utilities so we ingest silver nano particles for good health. There is a difference between ingesting plastic and ingesting silver
Please make a video on omega 3, fish oil and if it's required as a supplement
Very informative.
Thank you!
This is pretty much what I suspected; just like the pesticide scaremongering. It would take some pretty well-researched data that something is genuinely harmful to human health to put the shits up me these days.
Yeah!
Given the scale of the problem and the indiscriminate production and use of plastic, I think some amount of fearmongering could actually be beneficial to the cause. If it will make people consume less plastic. This kind of myth-breaking could actually encourage complacency.
Informative . Succint. We see the angle. But what about our friends in the sea? Here in Msia most of supermarkets and shops do not provide plastic bags anymore. And some cafes are already serving drinks with organic straw made from rice. They are mostly saying no to plastic. And what about the horror of burning plastic in landfills. Even if micro plastic is evidently not harmful generally can we generally go on with the massive use of plastic itself?
As we get wealthier, we will go down that path as well
proper disposing of plastic and recycling is the solution to what you are saying, not its usage. what do you think?
Thanks!
Even in the RO filter water is stored in a plastic container. Also we collect the water in plastic bottles for ease of use. Does this mean you cant reduce microplastic consumption even with RO filter?
If it’s high grade plastic, it is not going to add much!
Thanks for this video! I am asking because it was not mentioned specifically in the video. Is there any difference in using plastic cutting board vs wooden on this matter?
Nice Krish! The RO filter I'm sort of not convinced, even though it's filter water - the water stays in RO collector for long enough isn't that the same as bottled water?? 🤔🤔
No that container is not made from the flimsy plastic that bottled water uses
@@krishashok ok.. wat abt water cans? Even @ offices it's d same, water cans, dispensers too... 😁
