Personally speaking, I would prefer to use a little more fuel, and "waste" a little more food, if that meant having fewer microplastics circulating in my blood stream. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412022001258 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041202... After all, if they're in my bloodstream, they're probably everywhere, and if we happen to discover anything more harmful about that than endocrine disruption, good luck pulling all of that plastic back out of the environment. Glass uses very little energy, creates very little waste, when it is re-collected & washed--a common practice as recently as the early 1980s. I quote the word "waste" because I remember how things were. In the glass & paper days, we didn't waste nearly as much food as people do today. No one did. The fast food / fast casual dining experiences--which have popped up everywhere--are monuments of food waste. If you don't believe me, ask any of the employees how much food they throw away on a daily basis.
