Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who don’t.
Yeah, my entire country relies on bottled water. I can’t drink from the tap. I need to buy carboys constantly because we can’t really afford a water filter right now, and I doubt it’d come out as pure anyway. Of all the great things we do have, potable water for human consumption isn’t one of them. *sad Mexican noises*
E: On the bright side, you may be able to get a glass carboy and fill it up at one of the new refilling centers that are popping up all around the city, so at least you have a say on the type of container you use and get your water all at a fraction of the price that Coke and Pepsi sell it for!
Mexico City be in a spot.
