So I keep reading about bpa and how it leaches into our water bottles and food when it is exposed to extreme temperatures like in the microwave, our cars or the freezer and I am properly terrified that it will cause cancer or even an asthma attack. I use the little disposable "tupperware" but never reheat in it. I am careful with bottled water although who knows what it goes through before it hits our costco warehouse? I don't use a lot of bottled water, only when traveling, but my goal is to use none by the end of the summer. My friend Katy camps a lot and has 4 children and she fills up one of those orange coolers you see on ball fields and construction sites with water and ice and puts cups next to it (she even washes plastic QT cups and reuses them). She does it so her kids don't waste the expensive bottled water and dump half of it out on the ground, each other's head, the dog or whatever else happens to be begging for a good douse of water, but hers is the greenest method for providing water on a camping trip that I have yet to see. One thing that completely gives me the heebie-jeebies is putting those disposable things in the dishwasher and exposing them to extreme heat...and jet dry...I want to know more about jet dry...should I be using this? So I stopped refilling my jet dry and my glasses are still spotless but my plastic doesn't get dry...so here is my solution, some might consider it avant garde. At least Will does.
