Say NO to plastic

Stop using plastic beverage bottles. Rather than try to memorize which plastics may be safe, avoid them altogether. Besides health concerns, there are environmental ones. These bottles need 700 years to just begin to breakdown in a landfill. Use refillable stainless steel bottles. According to a draft report from the National Toxicology program, bisphenol-A may alter human development. So it makes sense to avoid the nearly unbreakable polycarbonate bottles that contain this harmful compound. Always use stainless steel water bottles.
