Plastic in Our Brains

Plastic in our brains and in all the organs of our body. This is not healthy for anyone, especially children!

Below is my list of ways to reduce your plastic exposure

  • Always carry a reusable glass or metal water bottle, and reusable shopping bags with you.
  • Never use Styrofoam!
  • Never heat foods in plastic!
  • Learn to refuse single-use plastics, such as plastic water bottles and coffee cups, straws, plastic bags and plastic utensils. 
  • Purchase fruit and produce in the bulk section, and don’t place items in plastic bags. 
  • Always search out products in glass jars instead of plastic containers. 
  • When you must buy plastic products, choose ones that you can recycle rather than ones you must put in the trash. 
  • Bring your own containers and shop the bulk section of your local food coop.
  • Purchase clothing made from cotton and wool instead of polyester or poly fibers. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/19/1188343293/is-toxic-fashion-making-us-sick-a-look-at-the-chemicals-lurking-in-our-clothes
  • Store food in glass containers instead of plastic.
  • Ditch the baggies!

Choose grocery stores that offer produce in bulk (not wrapped in plastic)
