plastic packaged foods

Green Living Expert > Jennifer Taggart

I've read so much about chemicals leaching from plastics I'm very careful about avoiding PVC (because of phthalates lead and other additives) and Polycarbonate (because of BPA) but I'm always wondering about unlabeled food packaging For example what type of plastic is typically used to package cheese And meats I've read that fatty foods like meat and cheese can promote leaching but I don't know if they're usually packaged in safer plastics or not We often get meat from our neighborhood butcher who gets their meat from small local farmers but what about the laminate on the butcher paper Help What can I do

help

Green Living Expert > Jennifer Taggart

I’m already pretty green but the rest of my family and friends are definitely not What can I do to help them realize how important being green is For instance they drive huge gas guzzling SUVs and when I suggest getting a hybrid they say it’s too expensive even though I pointed out that they would be saving a ton of money on gas Is there anything I can say or do to prove to them that every person’s carbon footprint counts
