    Oh boy I sure do love plastic with my water.

    Realistically though, is there any way to really filter out these?

      Sawyer tap filters remove 100% of microplastics (which I’m really hoping is legit!). They fit right on your tap and other than looking a bit funny work great. Just replaced my Brita filter with one a few weeks ago.

    Stapleton said she now relies more on filtered water at her home in New Jersey.

    But study co-author Beizhan Yan, a Columbia environmental chemist who increased his tap water usage, pointed out that filters themselves can be a problem by introducing plastics.

    “There’s just no win,” Stapleton said.

    Oh, man.

    I don’t care at all. You can take plastic from my cold dead hands hippies !

    First it was micro plastics, now it’s nano plastics, next they’re going to make number go up by counting individual plastic molecules.
