In my office, I see seemingly reasonable white-collar employees regularly microwave their lunch in all sorts of flimsy plastic containers. I’m not even shocked anymore.
- stronglikedan 9y agoI think the people who know not to microwave plastic, and don't, are a very small minority. The people who have never heard it are in a slightly larger minority. The people who have heard it's bad, but choose not to heed the warnings for convenience sake, are seemingly the majority. Most times I've mentioned it to someone who is about to microwave plastic, they say something along the lines of "oh yeah, I've heard that before", as they continue to put their plastic in the microwave and start it up. I've given up on trying to educate people about it.
