From reading that chapter, it's my understanding that toxins are released from plastics when they are burned or when they degrade in landfills. <BR/><BR/>I don't think toxins are released from normal wear & tear of using plastics. <BR/><BR/>Your response also reminded me of another point that Royte briefly mentioned: When we consider the interaction between our consumption habits and the environment, our decisions on what to do may be "agonizing."<BR/><BR/>On a more optimistic note, however, I think that making a small change to our daily routine, like using cloth bags instead of plastic bags, will result in seeing a big change in our community. <BR/><BR/>At least that's my hope, and I'm sticking to it! <BR/><BR/>:0) MMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013969477950426381noreply@blogger.com
