Have you marketers noticed? Plastic is back in the barrel – it’s the awful, no-good-for-you-and-especially-your-babies ingredient that so common in everyday life it might as well be oxygen (which is also bad for you in certain concentrations). The attention paid to the “evils of bisphenol A (BPA)” seems to have reached a sudden crescendo.

phthalates, polyethylene, polycorbonate, bisphenol A What are these and what do they have to do with my water bottle? I’ll admit, though I’m green, I’m not the greenest of travelers. And sometimes when people start talking to me about toxins, and thates and thyles, I cringe and tune out.

Another absolute must-see from VBS.tv: I’ve never quite understood how anyone can ignore such blatant environmental problems.

I recently received an email from ThinkBabyBottles.com asking me to sell their bottles on my website They claim that they have a plastic sippy cup that is bpa free and lead free. Sounds good....but... I asked them to send me a lab report verifying such statements.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few choices when it comes to BPA-free sippy cups for your kidlet. The trick, as it turns out, is finding a BPA-free sippy cup that doesn’t leak. Like their BPA-infested counterparts, the “safe” sippy cups have their fair share of leakage problems, too.
