A Plastic Free Life

Life without plastic -- can you imagine it? Probably not because the hazardous material makes up almost everything we use on a daily basis. Trash bags, water bottles, sandwich bags, ice cube trays, grocery bags, the cup that holds your pens, hangers -- the list could go on forever! On a recent project we purged an entire kitchen of plastic products. You'd be shocked at how many bags we filled. Most plastic isn't BPA free and can insert chemicals into your foods and utensils. 
An easy way to rid plastic from your life is to make a weekly effort to replace something plastic you use with another material. If you enjoy water bottles, try a stainless steel canteen that you can reuse, rather than storing your baking goods in plastic containers, try wooden. Use cloth recyclable bags at the grocery store, switch to wooden hangers, drink out of glass cups. Every small change you make could improve your health drastically. You never know what the effects of plastic can do down the road. It's time to say adios to plastic and never look back!
