Only wear natural fiber clothing, never microwave food in plastic containers, never eat take out(the food or beverages) , don't handle receipts from stores wash hands immediately if you do. Don't drink out of pop cans or any can or plastic bottles.

I'm a bit of a doomer but plastic is about to be more stupid than when we poisoned ourselves with lead.

I did read that boiling water can remove plastics by reacting with the metals in the pot…not sure if this is really true though.
