Thank you

PhD, I'm flattered. Did you also see the recent CBC article on the outbreak? Scary stuff:

In schools - my kids are in diversity classes from a young age - not sure at what age this particular iteration would be appropriate, but there certainly are ways to make it appropriate for any age. Printing it out and going over it w.my own kids.

Thanks for posting - we're about to move to a new home and thinking a lot about which furniture to take with us and where it should be placed. Posts like yours are interesting and helpful.

Flamingo House Happenings

Also betrayed by Nalgene!

katyfarber — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:44:00 -0500

Thanks for spreading the word about BPA. I was also appalled that my trusted Nalgene, taking me up mountains, to college classes and now my own classroom, is toxic.

I just posted a BPA roundup of information on my site, Non-Toxic kids at www.non-toxickids.net.

I know this isn't the last we'll hear about this!

Thanks for sharing info about Camelbak

Please continue to share as you get more info.

Camelbak water bottles affected too

Amy Gates — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:00:43 -0500

I was so frustrated to find out last week that the Camelbak water bottles my whole family (including my 1 and 3 yr old children) has been using also contain BPA. For some reason I never thought to investigate it. I try to be informed about anything and everything regarding their safety and health, but I clearly dropped the ball here. :(

Camelbak's bottles will be all BPA-free as of 5/1/08, but that doesn't do me or my kids any good now.

The water bottle I drink out of every day - and I refill three times a day - is a #7. 90% of the drinking glasses that are in my cabinet are 6's and 7's.

Ye Gods. What has been going on?

But, wait - I get to go shopping for new dishes!

Plastics

mama2bna — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:41:00 -0500

It is maddening to live in today's world, where there is so much information, so much intelligence, all of it challenging us to make the wisest choices we can. Time and again companies prove that until pushed, or revealed, they won't do the the right thing, the *wisest* thing for them being to stay quiet. I applaud the move Nalgene and others are making, even if it is because their hands were tipped ever so slightly.

The company I work for has been researching alternatives to the the plastic used in the handles of its product. We've just confirmed with out manufacturer that we can begin the process of implementing safer plastics. It is a cost, bot in time and money, but damn if it doesn't feel incredible.

Thank you for this post!
