Welcome Leslie and thanks for your comment. There are so many different types of health and environmental risks to our addiction to plastic everything that it is hard to point to one site. Greenpeace and others talk a lot about the environmental dangers of plastic. Here is a link to some articles on the Organic Consumers site about plastics.

What will get the word out is all of us doing as you did with your blog… writing something to alert our own group of friends and readers.

Will,
Plastic has been a huge concern of mine for years so it was great to see this post.
It does not seem like the public is paying attention and continue to let their kids drink from plastic, eat food that has been stored in plastic and then microwaved.
I rarely hear anything about the dangers of plastic. Is there an organization trying to get the word out?
