Addicted to Plastic? You’ve Gotta Check this Out.

It's time to say goodbye to plastic

Hey,

Let's talk about plastic.

There was a time when it made so much sense - it kept your food fresh, was easy to use and once you were done with it, you just threw it out.

Sounds great right?

Well, jump ahead a couple of decades and we've learned it's clogging our landfills, destroying our oceans and maybe most troubling of all - impacting our health.

“The nightmare scenario is that we one day find out that a lot more of our current disorders, including infertility and cancer, may be due to bisphenol A and only show up after cumulative exposure. But by then, we all have accumulated so much exposure that it's too late to reverse the effects,” (Harvard School of Public Health)

BPA (Bisphenol A) - the first chemical found in plastic to cause hormone disruption - isn't the only issue.

“Most plastic products, from sippy cups to food wraps, can release chemicals that act like the sex hormone estrogen, according to a study in Environmental Health Perspectives.” NPR

And even though these chemicals have been proven to seep into our food and bodies, our governments have been slow to protect us. Why? Many say Big Tobacco is to blame.

"Since the 1990s, a vast body of research has linked BPA and other chemicals found in plastics to serious health problems, ranging from cancer to infertility. But the industry—often using tactics pioneered by Big Tobacco as it sought to bury evidence about the health risks of smoking—has managed to shield these substances from federal regulation."​ (Mother Jones)

Which is why we're so excited about this truly game changing, natural and reusable foodwrap from etee (everything touches everything else). We love it because:

  1. It reduces your exposure to plastic by using natural - organic - ingredients
  2. It eliminates plastic waste and...
  3. It keeps your food fresh.

 

It's made from organic Beeswax, coniferous tree resins, organic essential oils (jojoba, cinnamon and clove) and a touch of non gmo soy wax infused in a hemp and organic cotton cloth.

The city had a huge influx of French and British immigrants in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Some eighteen thousand Saint Dominican refugees, both ethnic French whites and free people of color, and African freedmen, came from Saint-Domingue in the summer of 1803 during the last days of the Haitian slave revolt, which had started in 1791.[5] Other refugees had emigrated from Saint-Domingue earlier in the revolution. Haiti declared its independence as a republic in 1804. The French were withdrawing surviving troops after suffering heavy losses from warfare and yellow fever. The immigrants, who included freedmen as France had abolished slavery on Saint-Domingue, struggled to maintain their freedom in Cuba, which was still a slave society. Cuba initially allowed only white refugees, women of color, children, and loyal "domestics" to land; French troops and all men of color over the age of thirteen were held off shore, to be rapidly deported to the mainland, as they were considered a revolutionary threat.[5] Some French soldiers joined other refugees in Charleston, South Carolina, or New York City; others went to New Orleans. The refugees who stayed added to the city's eclectic cultural mix, already rich with Spanish and African culture. Some of the women and children were impressed into slavery again, although they had been free. In 1809, after Napoleon Bonaparte's forces invaded Spain, French citizens were ordered out of Cuba.[6] Most went to the United States, and thousands settled in New Orleans, with the freedmen increasing its African culture, as most had been born in Africa. The ethnic French whites and free people of color, generally with longer ti
