Updates: I looked up the little plastic forks and they're being sold on eBay and Etsy as 1950s cocktail forks! I actually did get a good deal, and I'm shocked I've been eating from and *breaking* vintage (~70 year-old) plasticware at my parents' house! At the end I incorrectly said I didn't pay tax at one of the thrift stores; that was false. Tax was included in the item prices at the church-run thrift store.
I think the major source of micro plastics in clothing. perhaps the second would be plastics on fire/melting. plastic cook ware should be fine unless you burn it. also great find with the silicone cup i didn't know they existed, i gotta get me some.
