I’ve been downsizing and cleaning out the plastic storage tubs and food storage containers from my home for three years now. For one, if I have to buy storage containers to manage my stuff, I have too much stuff. Downsizing is a brain relief!
The second reason is research on microplastics entering our bodies/brains. I read about a study that lasted 4 or 5 years, and in every brain they studied, 100% of the subjects had microplastics.
Yes, even the old Tupperware is dangerous. I’ve replaced storage tubs with sturdy cloth storage boxes with lids I found on Wayfair (stackable, home-fashion, and useful) and have moved to glass storage systems for food. I’m still working on it, but I’m almost done with the task!
Ever touched Tupperware after it’s been stored for a while and it’s sticky? Ever open a plastic storage tub, and it stinks badly? Plastics break down and become unhealthy to be around.
Below are a couple of articles to help you stay informed.
