Yea for a "precautionary" MEC

We congratulate Mountain Equipment Coop, a retailer across Canada for all things to get you "moving out-of-doors" on its decision to discontinue selling most food and beverage containers made of polycarbonate plastic from its shelves, citing concern over possible health risks. The plastic in question is made mostly from bisphenol A (BPA), which mimics estrogen and is derived from petrochemicals.

This company is following the Precautionary Principle which we, at Pure Know How, believe is a prudent approach to the chemical soup we now live in.

Bottles Bottles Everywhere!

These photos, taken by Seattle-based Chris Jordan, depict two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes. Make sure you look at all 3 pictures – it’s cool art and freaks you out at the same time.
