I know it's tough. Apparently I was ahead of the curve of most people and hit where you are at over a decade ago — with everybody around me and online calling me paranoid for thinking corporations/et. al are making people sick through their greed and apathy.

Corporations surely have known this stuff is harmful for a long time – but all they care about is selling a viable, cheap, scalable product, and marketing it to the masses to achieve wild success.

It gets better, I promise. Glass is my personal answer to plastic.

Control what you can, don't spiral into hopelessness, and advocate for real regulation and higher standards for corporations — so they can't simply go to market with harmful or toxic products.
