Adding to this it also seems like such a small thing to do in the grand scheme of things. Let's say not microwaving your food in plastic removes 10% of your yearly consumption of plastic. That's extremely generous. You still have to contend with nearly everything else you eat, drink, swim in, bathe with, and breathe. Hell, the most amazing thing is somehow even butcher meat has microplastics in it from the processing plant! At this point it's unavoidable. But if we're going to fix it there are probably much larger fish to fry here. Of course you should not microwave stuff in plastic anyway just like you shouldnt use a metal utensil on a teflon pan. But these articles are always written like it's One Weird Trick (TM) when the problem is actually everything else.
