BPA to the beebop! Nevermind... DON'T be beebopping to BPA or other plastic bottles this week!
This week we are setting out to discuss how we can be informed consumers when it comes to products packaged in plastic bottles.
BPA-free bottles is the new rage, and this week we are determined to find out exactly what is BPA? HDPE? PETE? And why are they harmful to us and the environment? What do those pesky codes on the bottom of plastic products actually mean? Are they meant to be understood by commoners like us? Tonnnnnes of questions, so little time!
We feel plastic has multiple negatives because of it's harm to our environment (accumulation in landfills, etc.) and because of it's impact on our bodies. This is why we are setting out to explore this topic in detail instead of blindly following the trends...
Do you make a conscious effort to avoid BPA, etc products, or plastic bottles in general? To get us started, we need to know what products you use to carry food, water, and others in... Are you on the Glass, Aluminum, Stainless train? Let us know why!
This week will hopefully be informative... please learn along with us!
Here is an earth shattering stat to get us started (literally, it may shatter the earth):
- 3% of household plastic bottles are currently recycled (that means 97% ARE NOT and are sitting in our landfills)
More to come, stay tuned!
