I was in the MSP airport on Thursday as I was readying to go to Maine for the weekend without kids and realized I needed a magazine for the plane trip (did I already mention no kids?!). Anyway, I think I am officially old b/c the magazine I selected from the huge wall of choices was...Good Housekeeping! Argh. Oh well. It worked out though because the current issue of Good Housekeeping has a very good article on plastics - BPA, plastic wrap and phthalates. It's a good primer that includes the results of their testing plus a discussion of the current scientific research and policy situations.

Also, the current issue of Minnesota Monthly has a long article discussing toxicity concerns about plastics and BPA. Click

We will address the whole plastics issue in a coming EcoParents meeting - probably in Feb?

Check out Consumer Reports as well. They had an article in one of their magazines this year but you can also download it online.
I shared this article with our schools parent fundraisers as they were selling school logo water bottles with the BPA codes on the bottom. I'm not sure yet if they stopped offering the water bottles, but I am surprised that fundraising companies who market to schools are still carrying those bottles.
