Plastics

There have been a number of studies released recently that show that a lot of additives placed in plastics can be quite harmful to people. Ptalates etc get easily converted to estrogen. I for one don't want to start crying when I watch Chick Flicks. :-) So I'm not interested in that. Plus you start to thing about them putting that in plastic that you give your kids and you start to get nervous. Hence, we've gone on a no-plastic binge in our house, firstly buying stuff to put the kids lunches in that was non plastic. The stuff we got was a bit pricey, but quite good:

then we ditched out tupperware containers and hit crate & barrel, who seem to have quite a wide array of glass food storage containers. Also ditched all the kids plastic cups - focusing on either glass or stainless steel these days. Big change. Hard to remember at times, but we're working on it.
