What’s the microplastics in drinking water though from the tap? I mean we know it isn’t going to be zero.

Depends on where you live. But rest assured: we'll all have PFAS in our clits and plastic in our dicks by the time we go into the casket. There is no place on earth where PFAS aren't raining down from the skies.

You're getting thousands for every cent you pay! What a deal!

Having been on holiday at a place with a beach recently and seeing how much plastic crap gets washed ashore and how much of that crap is bottle lids, I'm actually pretty okay with this change.

This is how the EU in fact decided for this measure.

If you are able to open the cap to begin with, you're capable of twisting it and tearing it off. It's not that hard. I never understood the "controversy" when these were introduced, and I'm convinced that the ones too inept to take it off completely are the same ones who caused the caps to end up in the wrong place to begin with.

Hold 0,00004km above mouth and pour it in like the fountains of Rome.

The bottles are okay, but on the milk for example i take it off by just pulling on it.

Another moron-filter. People complain about simple gestures that could potentially help humanity in a small way. We've always had morons. We seem to reach a critical mass, though. The real issue if overpopulation: more morons in general.

It's fine that those people exist, but they shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or teach.

Those caps are fine. Drinking from plastic bottles is stupid enough. Having them at all was a huge step back.

What a world.
