While I understand the urge, no you shouldn't throw out literally everything you have that is plastic. If you want to do it, I would do specific case by case research to back it up and not toss it unless you can find concrete info (not some naturopath website or blog), suggesting it is harmful and confirming there's a valid alternative you can afford to switch to. Even if you have tons of plastic everything it's almost certainly not like, urgent to eliminate, even in the cases where it is a genuine problem.
I couldn’t actually do it. There’s too much stuff and greater than contamination is my fear of wasting things.
