Moralizing people for re-using single-use plastic bottles is just virtue signaling. It’s basically impossible to avoid microplastics and if one cares about their health there are things you can do that have orders of magnitude greater impact on it such as staying lean and excercising.
I’ll stick to refilling old bottles with tap water.
You should use a reusable water bottle for that purpose though. Don’t reuse single-use plastic like that
Yes. Instead of using the bottle you already have you should buy a new bottle!
Yes. Microplastics leech into your water when you reuse a single-use plastic bottle.
Microplastics are in the air we breathe and the water you’re filling your re-usable bottle with likely comes to the tap via plastic pipes.

Thanks, dope ass logic. Let’s just ingest more plastic!!!
Normally one puts used 2-liter pop bottles into recycling.
Occasionally I reuse one a few times.
Why would I buy a water bottle when I essentially have one—at times several—already?
