Design 127: Environmental Consciousness

I just thought that this article is interesting, since we talked about polycarbonate plastics earlier in class: Glass baby bottles making comeback.  Below the article there’s a list of what parents can do to help their child, and amongst some of them were “avoid letting your baby put plastic toys in their mouths” and “avoid foods wrapped in plastic” which I think are a little hard to avoid… but the one that says “Choose plastic food containers, bottles and cups made of #1, #2 and #4 (polyethylene) and softer, opaque #5 (polypropylene) plastics, glass or stainless steel” is very helpful because it’s teaching moms which plastics are good for their children, and in respect, good for the environment, too. Go moms!
