Plastics and You
Plastic products are light weight, inexpensive, widely available and
often full of leaching chemicals. Make your life a little less
plastic-y by first following those all important 3RS.
- REDUCE the amount of plastic coming into your house. Purchase
products made with glass if that is an option or with minimal
packaging. And, don't buy bottled water. Use a reusable water bottle
and stick to your highly regulated, often monitored municipal source.
- If you are clearing the plastics out, re-purpose or REUSE them for
organizing non-food items, craft supplies, hardware etc.
- RECYCLE as much of your plastic as you can when you are done with
it. Depending on what municipality you are in, different plastics can
be recycled.
