  • Unless you’re rich most of you clothes have plastic in them. Shoes too.

    Furniture most likely has polyurethane top coat if it’s actual wood or if it’s ikea furniture the particle board uses petroleum products as glue and the surface is vinyl.

    Curtains and carpets unless you’re a rich asshole.

    All home appliances including fridges and air conditioners.

    Some of the pipes in your house Home insulation/vapor barrier. Exterior vinyl siding. Any plywood or particle board sheathing (most of your house if you live in burgerland). Insulation in your wires.

    Cars, Bikes, Scooters all have rubber tires and plastic parts. Break line tubing on bikes.

    Aluminum cans and paper bags usually have a plastic liner too. Glass bottles have plastic in the cap for seal. Basically impossible to buy any food that isn’t in a plastic lined package. Even bulk stores get their stock in containers with plastic. All medicine comes in plastic containers too.

    Anything machined out of metal likely has a little residual from the petroleum product lubricant used to machine it .

    Only materials that would be safe (if it doesn’t come in plastic packaging) would be non machined metal, ceramics, glass, untreated lumber, 100% natural fiber cloth. IDEK if you can even buy natural rubber anywhere.

    But then again the factory that made it probably involved plastic parts of machines touching the product

    Your only options is live in the woods krazcinski style but I’m sure even the fertilizer he bought to make his bombs had plastic in its packaging in addition to being a petroleum product.

    Nowadays it’d also be impossible to find a tent that doesn’t have some polyester so if you are going in the woods watch some Primitive Techology videos and build your own shelter.
