Just another reason to avoid plastics–and please don’t be comforted by the non-BPA plastics. They are finding that even the “safe” non-BPA plastics contain dangerous chemicals. Buy in bulk as much as possible. Use glass or stainless steel drinking bottles. Eat fresh not packaged fruits and veggies. Avoid plastic children’s toys and be careful of painted toys, too! Waldorf schools have wonderful toy ideas for infant and children (here is a link for those in the Portland, OR, area)
