Plastic is everywhere. Look around you right now and count the number of things that you know contain plastic. Convenient and cheap, yes. But there are some major pitfalls to living in a plastic world. Plastics can harbor some nasty ingredients, such as phthalates and BPA. And in addition to polluting your body, all that plastic is polluting the planet.
The aim of our 28-Day Plastic Purge is not to completely banish plastic, but to help you ID the most toxic and unnecessary sources like vinyl and single-use plastics, respectively.
For instance, Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, points out that we got along fine before mixed salad greens started turning up in plastic bags and boxes about 10 years ago. “The point is really using plastic thoughtfully. If you try to totally eradicate it, you’ll make yourself crazy because it’s in every facet of our lives, some of it beneficially,” she says. “You want to use it wisely.”
