bye bye, tupperware

so lately I have been obsessed with getting rid of the "bad plastic" i have in my house that is POISONING ME! I thought for sure it had to be all of that cheap crap I have bought at the grocery store over the years that is taking up too much space. but no. it is my Nalgene bottles that I have used for ever, and my beloved Tupperware that is slowly killing me and my unborn children. OK, I know that is a bit extreme, but word on the street is that it isn't doing me any good either. So alas, goodbye my Sheerly Elegant bowls that I store all my fresh cut fruit in and microwave my broccoli in each week. Goodbye my Rock & serve containers that claim to be made out of unbreakable materials. So long. Sorry to clog up the landfills with you, but I don't want you poisoning me any more.

here is a link to Tupperware's list of what their containers are made of. Steer clear of the BPA #7.

here are the general rules for ditching plastic.
Avoid:
#3-PVC
#6-PS
#7-Polycarbonate (BPA = bad)

Choose instead:
#1-PETE (but dont reuse apparently - one time only)
#2-HDPE
#4-LDPE
#5-PP
