Just so you know.

I'm working on eliminating plastic bags from our house for the sake of the environment, but what I'm really concerned about are the plastics that can affect the kids' reproductive health, cause cancer, affect memory, and disrupt endocrine function. Plastic marked with #7 is the bad stuff. Don't use it. Canada is working to ban it from baby bottles and formula containers (the lining of the cans) by next year. Our government is also trying to outlaw bisphenol A, or BPA, the hormone-like ingredient in #7 plastics. It's also used as the lining in many aluminum cans and food cans (so put down that Coke can and don't eat acidic things, such as tomatoes, packaged in cans). Also, don't reuse water bottles (or anything marked with #1) because they begin leaking carcinogens after the first use. I don't like the idea of big government any more than the next guy, but I want someone doing a better job of protecting us!
