How to Avoid Phthalates:

Beauty companies are not required to list ingredients, so you are not likely to see phthalates, a plastic softener linked to cancer, on labels. Avoid products that list "fragrance," which often contains phthalates; look for essential oils instead.

Stackable Square Glass Canisters

Why It's Good:

No more plastic containers! Canisters made of glass means you can use your tri-color tortellini and spotted pinto beans as countertop art. We hunger for these canisters because they come in five reusable stackable sizes that feature airtight seals.

Why It's Green:

This collection of canisters is a great, earth-friendly alternative to the plastic containers most people use to store their dry food. In fact, most plastic containers have toxic additives that can leak into our groundwater, plus they take forever to biodegrade. What’s more, many of the plastic containers designated for food storage are made from either polypropylene (PP) or low density polyethylene (LDPE,) materials that are also used for car parts and industrial molds—not so great when leaching into your food.
