For years I froze water in a plastic bottle to melt down and drink on hot workdays. That's a no~no, plastic has been found to leach into water. I was just thinking, if that is bad, why are ice cube trays all plastic?
Noted, thank you Michael.



Let's develop safe hemp or ? based plastics, that are totally biodegradable.
Noted, thank you Michael.
