Many paper receipts are a source of BPA exposure. The chemical is used to develop color in inkless thermal printing. Unfortunately, while BPA in food cans is bound to resins that line the cans, which helps stop at least some leaching, the BPA in thermal paper is unbound. This means you’re actually more likely to be exposed to BPA from receipts than from canned foods. Here is a simple trick to check receipts for BPA.

“👋Getting your friends and family involved in sustainability!

Your individual sustainable actions can matter 10x more if you use them as a tool to affect change around you. For example, bringing your own bag to the grocery store says to your friends and family “hey I care about the planet and I’m doing this one small thing to be a little more sustainable - and you can too!”

So now it’s not just one person bringing a reusable bag, it’s you PLUS those around you, plus the folks they encourage, and so on. And this action (and others) can lead to other actions, like maybe learning about composting or speaking up at work or calling representatives. We can be so powerful together.

Here are a few tips and tricks for getting your friends and family involved in sustainability:

🌍 Find out what they care about - maybe budget or convenience - and cater teaching around that
🌍 Model easy sustainable actions
🌍 Try a challenge together - like meatless Mondays or air drying your clothes for a month
🌍 No finger wagging and no shaming! Take one step at a time!”

trash bags are a great option as an alternative to single-use plastic trash bags.

These bags are 100% plant-based and are designed to break down very quickly under certain conditions (typically high heat and moisture). This might mean they take longer to break down in landfill conditions compared to home composting, but when they do, they will not result in entering the environment.

The average household can generate about 44 kg of CO2 annually from plastic trash bags alone. Here are some better options.
