A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the dangers of plastics and some ideas for cutting out some of the plastic we use. Ever since then I have been noticing how EVERYTHING is plastic…it is probably impossible to escape it. The radio I am listening to is made of plastic; my computer stand is plastic; my computer equipment (printer, mouse) is made of plastic; everything, even my toothbrush!
But, I am trying to at least cut back, and to eliminate as much plastic as possible from coming in contact with my food. To that end, I have begun to save glass jars, and I have purchased some glass and stainless steel food storage containers. Of course the glass containers have plastic lids! But they tell me that they are BPA free…
It’s a start.
