Would the word 'ecology' attract traffic? All things ecological are linked. Toxins and chemicals and microplastic are destroying us all, and all other life on the planet. Above anything, especially on Mumsnet, I would hope for a place for a thread on living plastic-free, particularly with plastic-free food and drink. Remarkably, organic food tends to be plastic-wrapped, which is extraordinary, when alternative 'not-plastics' are available.
(For example, one manufacturer packs organic dried fruit in a sturdy see-through flexible but not- plastic bag, one tomato grower packs in not-cardboard boxes, made from pulping his waste tomato leaves, and covers in plant-based cellophane.)
Many supermarkets are selling plastic-free sandwich bags and roasting bags by 'if you care'. yet still pack their own produce and organic food in plastic. They still sell plastic bottles to feed baby milk, and there is no advice to the public not to warm plastic ever, especially not in a microwave.
Two years ago there was a (recently reported) measurement of microplastic in human organs of some 8 year old autopsy samples, to compare with the same tests on some new ones: In only eight years, there had been a significant increase in plastic prevalence in major organs, especially the brains, for all ages including infants.
That seems too important for an AIBU. But also, too important to vanish in a never-seen corner. (Newbie here)
