More bad news on the use of plastics. Black plastic kitchen utensils and food containers have high levels of a flame retardant in them. They may have come from cross contamination during the recycling process. Like the plastic that is found in tvs and other electronic cast offs. Plastics continue to mess up the earth and it's inhabitants including getting into us. California initially banned the use of grocery type bags. Over a couple years they found that people switched to the heavier plastic bags. They treat them as one and done and toss. Poundage wise it's 10 times more waste than the initial thin bags. Now California is going to ban almost all plastic bags. Good for them. Another thing is not to use weed block in your landscaping. It is full of plastic.
