Glass bottles, long considered a safer, more eco-friendly choice, aren’t as “pure” as we thought. New research shows they can shed microplastic and nanoplastic fragments into the drinks they hold.
It’s a reminder that no material is completely inert — and that every packaging option has its trade-offs.

Phys.org · Glass bottles found to contain more microplastics than plastic bottlesVon Rébecca Frasquet

Went to the nature reserve nearby. Walked all of 500m. Picked up an entire bin bag full of rubbish, including a disposable BBQ (which they kindly left with all their other rubbish in a paper bag next to bagged up dog poop). I didn't even make a dent in the cigarette butts littering everywhere. It's still very dry here.
I just can't with people today... It breaks my heart to still see so much carelessness for our environment.

"At the conference ministers from 97 countries, including the UK, signed a joint political statement saying they wanted an ambitious treaty to be signed on [plastic production].

But this only included one of the top ten oil-producing nations - Canada. Plastic is made from oil, so any commitment to reduce production could harm their income, the countries claim."
