I have the impression it's some plastics but not all. A rule of thumb many people up here use is to avoid plastics with recycling number 6 (polystyrene) or 7 (polycarbonate). These are said to be the worst.

Alex, does the film contain specific recommendations to consumers? (Normally I hate using the word "consumer" to mean "citizen" but in this case it could hardly be more accurate.)



I didn't watch the last few min of the film, but here is a good list of things to avoid:

Realistically it will be impossible to completely avoid the stuff until it's made illegal.


Given that the list includes water, I'd have to agree!
