A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine asked me to snap some photos for an advocacy training she was organizing.<\/p>\n

She is a part of the staff of amazing women and men that work for an amazing group, Breast Cancer Fund<\/a>. Their mission is to identify and advocate the elimination of environmental & preventable causes of breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Though I was there to “photograph” the event, I learned a thing or two – which is always a good thing. I learned which plastics are “bad” (even though they are recyclable) and I’m starting to double check the labels on all our cosmetics – especially the ones Mads uses.<\/p>\n

I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, I grew up without all these precautions, I turned out just fine. I’m sure you did. But, I can attest to the effects of hazardous chemicals on the human body.<\/p>\n

So, I’m being more cautious about using plastic anything – which is difficult for me since I find joy in the versatility of plastic ziploc bags. (I use them for everything and anything!)<\/p>\n

I’ve gone back to covering food with paper towels when reheating them in the microwave, rather than using the plastic cover. (I’m waiting to make my move to throw it out, S might be lost without it.)<\/p>\n

I am definitely not reusing the plastic water bottles – either recycling them as soon as I am finished or I depend on my handy dandy camelbak BPA-free water bottle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’ve started to look up all the cosmetics we use in the cosmetic safety database<\/a> and making notes on what and what not to buy next time I’m at the store.<\/p>\n

And of course, I had to take photos of the food:<\/p>\n
