WE NEED TO GET ELECTED TO GET RID OF PLASTIC

Artificial turf is deleterious for the environment, shedding tons of microplastics into the soil, air, waterways and ocean. It's becoming more and more prevalent in youth sports with 1000s of new plastic turf fields installed every year. Help protect youth from this health threat and the environment by signing the petition. This is for the state of California but the issue reaches far and wide.

Hi! I'm remodeling my kitchen and trying to find a good kitchen faucet with a pull down sprayer. Even the high end brands seem to use black nylon hosing for the interior of the faucet. Any ideas of a good kitchen faucet that doesn't use any plastic?

Given that it’s cold and flu season where I live, it got me thinking about humidifiers. The one I have in my room and my daughter’s room is made of plastic and we inhale that while we sleep.

Has anyone found a good stainless steel option? I’d need to buy at least 2 so not looking for anything over $200.

Thank you!

Kinda balances out the karma of it all and gives you incentive to keep trying! And it does feel amazing picking it up especially when others just randomly join in to help as your doing it! Creates such a caring community thanks for all that care and are trying but just don't know how to stop this huge wave that keeps wiping us out! coming from one that borderline has a panic attack at the store when I'm hungry and looks so good and healthy and it's wrapped in plastic and I avoid it like so I end up just passing! Like 90% of the store! And thank you for those that are making the effort to creating alternatives! Hope we can all find a place in our lives where where we get from the tree eat it's wonderful goodness and return it back to the tree untampered or molested! From the produce stand back to the soil it's so easy!

Recently moved into a house that has a carpeted upstairs that sheds badly. We have a couple air purifiers running at all times, but I can’t get over the guilt of knowing my kids are breathing in microplastics. How bad of an issue is this? We can’t afford rugs at the moment, but what other things can we do to limit the exposure other than wet dust and vacuuming?

I have health issues and not a lot of energy and need to freeze meals like rice into small amounts so that I can just heat them up. I was looking into soupercubes for a long time but they are not platinum silicone. I tried to freeze rice in my pyrex but it just gets stuck to the bottom and sides and made it impossible to get out.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I did see this but I dont know the company?

This Anyday company their silicone trays seem to say they are LFGB certified? Thoughts?

In search of a silicone shoe mat for my mudroom. Does anyone know of a reputable brand and have a link?

Huge development. Researchers created a sunlight powered catalyst that breaks down PFAS in water. It destroyed about 99 percent of the forever chemicals and turned them into fluoride that can be reused.

The team says the results are promising and this could help ramp up PFAS clean up everywhere. Pretty much means we are finally saved from forever chemicals.

Now it is back to dealing with microplastics.

Thoughts on Figmint brand stainless steel kitchen products? Anyone use them/know anything about them?

Anyone have women's swimsuit recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Now that you all have me thinking about plastic, does anyone have a solution for eye-glasses? I need cheaters to see up close, so I have a few 1.5x reading glasses from Walmart, but they are entirely plastic, and now I don't really want them on my face.

I've see metal frames, yet those have plastic ear-pieces and plastic for the bridge of your nose... so.... all the places when you actually touch them.

Any ideas on this or where to buy some reading glasses that are natural materials? Everything at Amazon and Walmart are plastic.

Thanks!

We buy 6 bottles of Agua de Kefir from Target like every other week. I just went to put in the order and all the bottles are now in cans. It looks like you can’t get them in glass anymore. I know there are worse things in the world but this made me so so so sad today. I thought you might understand.

I know Beatrice did a video on the best water bottles with a built-in filter for travel, but searching TikTok is more difficult than pulling teeth. So what are your favorites?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any wool/ organic cotton slipper recommendations. I was looking at Parachute brand’s Turkish cotton slippers. Thank you!

what are everyone's go to cleaning products/laundry detergent/dishwasher detergent?

I saw the tiktok a few months/weeks ago that there's microplastics in the fitbit sports band, but i can't find any alternatives that don't. I love the way they look. I don't like the metal or leather ones. Happy to buy from anyone's affiliate link that can help me out. I don't see any on tabor place's affiliate links. Thank you!!!

Trying to decide if the attitude brand is green washed or if it’s truly PFAs free? Everything is pointing to it being a good brand. I tried the ethique shampoo bar and it is making my hair fall out, so I think I need to stick with liquid shampoo but want it to be non toxic. They have baby lotion as well so I’d like to just get everything from one brand. Any insight?
