Today a friend forwarded me an excellent website called Life Without Plastic. As you can probably guess the site deals with finding alternatives to plastic. Here's a bit form their website:
Life Without Plastic (or LWP as they are sometimes called) is a great place to find alternatives to plastics. They have a great shop filled with all kinds of interesting and often delightful plastic-free items. Among the cool stuff they offer are plastic-free toys, food storage, bags, tableware, water storage, kids' stuff, etc. Choose from items made of wood, stainless steel, glass and other more human/earth friendly materials.Plastic is all around us. It forms much of the packaging for our food and drink. For many of us, it is throughout our home, our workplace, our car and the bus we take to and from work. It can be in our clothing, eyeglasses, teeth, computers, phones, dishes, utensils, toys. The list goes on.
What is Plastic? 
Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, durable, strong and relatively inexpensive. It can be chemical resistant, clear or opaque, and practically unbreakable. These are wonderful useful qualities, and plastic plays many important roles in life on Earth, but the widespread use of plastic is also causing unprecedented environmental problems, and harbors serious health risks – especially for children. Plastic should be used wisely, with caution and only when suitable alternatives do not exist or are not available.
Even if you don't buy anything from them, their website is a great source for ideas on how to get plastic out of your life. Be sure to check them out.
Yeah, Indeed its true! I also visited the site and it's really interesting. If you're looking for an alternative to plastics you might love to try this exciting and fabulous stuff at Happy Tiffin site. The site offers cool eco-friendly stainless steel tiffin containers that are really convenient to use. Plus, its more safe than plastic materials because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals in it, you can easily wash it, carry it, and most especially it's made of high quality stainless steel. As for a change this new year, let's switch to these kind of reliable kitchen stuff. =)
