We quit using K-cups due to the very hot water passing through aluminum and plastic.  

 

I'm also looking at plastic free tea bag brands or maybe getting loose leaf tea and a stainless steel tea ball or diffuser/strainer.  We don't drink a lot of tea anymore but it's something to think about. 

I have a sibling who has been diagnosed with dementia & memory loss and another who had a stroke who now has some cognitive impairment.  In addition to concerns about ingesting microplastics and aluminum, it's my belief that the Standard American Diet and the multitude of low quality processed food and junk additives our society consumes, without regard for ingredients, has significantly contributed to the decline in brain health.  I'm sure there are likely many holes in our armor, and eventually we'll die anyway, but my DH and I are doing what we can in diet, supplements, and lifestyle to keep our brains as healthy as possible.


good for you to stop using K-cups. all toxic.  and the keurig.  all the water is run through plastic and sits in plastic.  YUCK

 

i love my Chemex and paper filters!   just the best coffee!!  and i can compost all of it.  

 

so many things we can do to avoid plastic but there is so much of it everywhere!  

we are drowning in plastic.

 

 

 

Bring nature home, plant native species to your area

@mrshckynut Live as you please. Certainly your choice.

 

Choices still affect others in terms of waste, toxins, health, food, and even death.

 

 

@Cakers3   thank you for agreeing it is my choice    my choices on this topic however do not affect others choices of waste, toxins, health, food or their death
