Studies suggest disposable, plastic water bottles can harbor hundreds of tiny bits of plastic, and we’re drinking them down with bottled H2O. Microplastics are all over the place: in our salt, contaminating our seas, and running out of our taps, too. But there are even more of them lurking in bottled water, and…

The World Health Organization (WHO) have recently published a report that looks at the impact of microplastics in drinking water on human health. They conclude that currently, the effects are unknown. In 2015, humans produced around 407 million tons of plastic. However, plastic does not biodegrade; instead, it breaks down into progressively…
