2010-09-02 Plastic ban must begin at the BBMP - Bangalore - DNA

When his attention was drawn to these, the official said without batting an eyelid: and ldquo;We should ban the usage of plastic, especially covers used to pack food, vegetables etc. In our office, we use only paper cups. We have stopped using plastic bottles in our office. Before we preach, we have to set an example. and rdquo;

And ldquo;We are planning to conduct a drive against the usage of plastic bags in every ward. First, an awareness must be created among people about how plastic thrown haphazardly as waste can harm human beings, animals and environment. This drive has already started in the BBMP premises. We have stopped using plastic covers, cups and plates in the office. However, we are still using plastic bottles as those are recycled products. and rdquo;

2010-08-31 Receipts contain bisphenol A

BPA has been in the news since 2007 when some retailers pulled hard plastic bottles from their shelves. There was concern that trace amounts of the chemical were seeping into the water. A year later Ottawa announced Canada would be the first country to ban BPA from plastic food containers.

One study found touching a receipt for five seconds with a single fingertip wiped off up to 23 micrograms of bisphenol A (BPA). The chemical could then find its way onto food and be ingested. The amount wiped off increases tenfold when all fingers contact the paper and "by an order of magnitude," scientists say, when the paper is crumpled in ones palm.

2010-08-29 A galling fine for an avid recycler in Philly Philadelphia Inquirer

It contained some food that had gone bad in plastic containers and a few pieces of junk mail, he said, explaining, "I had my identity stolen once, and the police told me to put papers like that in different places, stain them with food, make them unappealing. "

First we had "Dog Bites Man", that was followed by "Man Bites Dog", and now we have (Heavens to Murgatroid". ), "Liberals Bite Liberal. " LOL. The obvious point that is missed here is that this guy is no more an "Avid Recycler" than he is related to Howdy Doody. Any avid recycler worth his salt would compost the spoiled food, and recycle the mail, and would never violate his principles just because he is in a hurry. I know because I am, indeed, an avid recycler, and I put my money where my mouth is - I rarely have trash and never put anything recyclable in that trash. The mans an idiot.

2010-08-26 LunchSkins: An alternative to plastic bags

LunchSkins: An alternative to plastic bags

They decided to create a greener option for parents and kids that was stylish, durable and food-friendly. LunchSkins are reusable sandwich and snack bags made from a thick cotton fabric used in commercial bakeries and restaurants and lined with food-safe polyurethane, so theyre dishwasher and washing machine-safe, BPA-free and dont give food that "plastic" smell. The fabric comes from Europe, but the bags are manufactured in Wilkes-Barre in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Kirsten Quigley and Cristina Bourelly, co-founders of 3greenmoms, along with creative director Jennie Stoller Barakat, had packed a lot of school lunches over the years and had been concerned about all of the plastic storage bags being thrown way.

2010-08-24 The Search for Improved Food Storage: Beyond Plastic Cling Triple Pundit: People, Planet, Profit

Is always an issue as those crates of meat and veggies move from farm to store to table. So what do you pull out of the cabinet as you clean the kitchen after you have had everyone over for that Saturday night dinner Well, the easiest default is plastic cling wrap. While our Silver Lake household is weaning ourselves away from plastic containers (the news over BPA and other chemicals is just a bit too creepy) and adopting our grandmothers storage method, glass jars, that roll of cling wrap will not go away. Tear a square off, and presto, you have a lid for that ceramic bowl or baking dishand the debate over the safety of that form of plastic comes into play as well. Well, we have almost eliminated plastic bags from the house and favor the tea towel over the paper towel, so when it comes to that roll of cling wrap, we

2010-08-22 In Atlantic Debris, Good News and Bad - Green Blog

That plastics may be deteriorating faster in the water than previously believed is in some ways good news for seabirds and marine life, which can be choked or poisoned by consuming plastic debris, which they mistake for food. But as plastic decomposes, it also releases toxic compounds into the water, which can interfere with animal reproduction and cause other problems.

What the researchers did find was a continuing proliferation of millimeter-size plastic debris in the surface waters of the Atlantic. In an area where ocean currents converge a trash vortex, as similar features throughout the worlds oceans are often called researchers recovered 23,000 pieces of plastic after towing nets through the water for just half an hour.

2010-08-20 Lisa Kaas Boyle: 25-Foot Turtle Stumps for Plastic Bag Ban

This is a turtle that is used in parades - It wasnt created for the event, and is not single-use plastic. The float company was apparently so moved by the message about sea turtles tragic fate that they donated the float for the press conferences. We live in a world that uses a lot of plastic - Take a look at the computer you use, or you phone. The problem is single-use and disposable plastics because they are used so briefly and enter the waste stream constantly. Some plastics can be recycled. Plastic bags are not really recyclable. With tons of effort and legislation to encourage the recycling of plastic bags in California, we have only made it to 5 pct. recycled. Why Because the plastic bags are so thin they jam machines at recycling plants -and the efforts are not profitable. Most plastic bags that make it to recycling
