Comments on: Two Cans a Week, a Countdown to Earth Day Post http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/04/two-cans-a-week-a-countdown-to-earth-day-post/ A Community for Blogging Mothers in Greater Seattle and the East Side Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:45:15 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Carrie http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/04/two-cans-a-week-a-countdown-to-earth-day-post/comment-page-1/#comment-2822 Carrie Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:51:24 +0000 http://www.seattlemomblogs.com/2008/04/16/two-cans-a-week-a-countdown-to-earth-day-post/#comment-2822 Update on the Nalgene bottles: ANY bottle with the #7 inside the recycle triangle code contains the harmful biphesnol (sp?) A which is linked to all kinds of health problems and has been under scrutiny from bottle-feeding parents everywhere for being used in most common plastic baby bottles! So, if you can, find a bottle without the #7 -- most bike water bottles are safe -- and/or consider purchasing glass bottles. It ain't easy being green, but it is something that we MUST commit to, not only for our health, but for the environment.

Solidifying the good things you're already doing and looking for one more thing you can do a little better. Way to go! I was thinking today about switching from standard disposable diapers to gDiapers for Magoo and then the thought hit me - DUDE. HE'S 3. If I potty train him, I'll save the environment. :) These are exactly the kinds of changes I’m talking about!
