Hi,

In follow up to SJs work to educate about and reduce use of plastic in our lives, here:

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/03/06/living-without-plastic.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art3&utm_campaign=20190306Z1_NB_UCM&et_cid=DM272024&et_rid=561395878

Is an interesting article about plastic toxicity and recycling. In the article, there are two links to other articles by Dr Mercola about the toxicity of plastic and how to avoid it. Enjoy!

STORY AT-A-GLANCE 

• Families around the world are now living without plastic, from grocery bags to storage containers, toothbrushes and produce bags; while challenging, online and brick-and-mortar businesses are available to make your transition easier, if not painless
• It may take up to 1,000 years for plastic to completely degrade. In the meantime, the product breaks down into microplastic particles, infiltrating your food and water supply, damaging the environment and placing your health at risk
• Plastic pollution and chemical absorption is associated with numerous forms of cancer, obesity, neurological, reproductive and developmental toxicities, as well as diabetes, organ malfunctions and heart disease
• Consider reducing your plastic exposure and impact on the environment by recycling like an expert, switching plastic storage for glass, avoiding processed foods and opting for non-disposable products, such as diapers, razors and utensils
