So it still makes a drip coffee, but the hot water is only exposed to metal and glass. Which, again, anytime hot water was exposed to plastic, you're really increasing your risk. So that's an expensive coffee machine, but it's a one-time cost.

Another thing was, and we had already done this before, but I do think this is a worthwhile investment for people who can afford it, is putting in a reverse osmosis water filter in the home and drinking out of that. Huge source of microplastics and other chemicals that you want to avoid.

Another thing that you can do, which again is a big cost, and this is not something everybody necessarily should do, but especially if you're indoors a lot, is moving your air filtration system up to HEPA level. Okay. Again, that's a cost. There's a real cost in doing that. Not in the filters themselves. They can be relatively inexpensive.

But in the HVAC machines that need to blow them are pretty expensive. So standard residential HVAC units typically aren't powered to do it, so you'll have to upgrade them. Okay. Little things like, it sounds silly, but like I don't take a plastic bottle into the sauna. I use a glass bottle. I don't even keep a plastic lid on it. I just don't want anything heating up plastic.

Those are, oh, I switched out my water bottles in, I used to ride my, if I'm riding my bike outdoors, you know, cyclists have plastic water bottles. I just found a company that makes steel ones. So those are kind of the big things. So again, a lot of it's a single upfront big cost, right? You know, the water bottle is like 40 bucks, which is a total ripoff, but whatever.

So single big upfront cost, but then after that, you're kind of done thinking about it. And that's probably getting rid of two-thirds of it. Now, I'm doing that out of what's called the precautionary principle. Not doing that because I'm telling you this stuff causes cancer and heart disease. I don't know. Interesting. But the cost of mitigating it is low relative to the cost of being wrong.

And again, let's say you're on a road trip, and you're parched, and you pull over at a gas station, and your choice is to stay parched or drink the water out of the plastic bottle. Drink the water out of the plastic bottle. That's better than getting a kidney stone. Okay. Right? Like, again, people have to remember the dose effect of this stuff.
