How can we beat plastic pollution

The following personal measures can be of some help:
1. Use 1-gallon glass jugs (or BPA-free, larger "safe" plastic bottles) to store purified water; refill these as needed, and replace personal-use water bottles with stainless steel or silicone-covered glass bottles that you fill from the larger containers, your tap water if acceptable/available, or directly from a purified or other clean source. One significant source of microplastic particles has been found in single-use plastic water bottles. The manufacturing process is one concern (small particles are left inside), leaching of harmful chemicals is another, and disposal into the environment without recycling options is yet a third. Consider a good home water filter if this will be easier/more economical. Support clean (on-tap) drinking water efforts in your community that may help to avoid reliance on bottled water.
2. Prepare and store foods and beverages using non-plastic utensils, pans, containers, and covers (including wrap materials) whenever possible. Watch out for (older, cheaper) coated non-stick pans, too - some leach chemicals into food; others have been developed more recently not to do this. Look also at the cooking technique; it is possible to avoid "non-stick" pans entirely.
