Desperate for convenience and mobility but shuddering at the thought of more plastic? After the birth of their son, so were these Canadian suppliers of alternatives.
“LifeWithoutPlastic (“LWP”) was born when our son arrived in this world. For him, we sought non-fragile alternatives to plastic for his bottles, cups and dishes. A primal instinct of any young child is to experience life through the mouth – taste and texture. Our son was no different, and the thought of him regularly sucking on plastic made us cringe…
…Alternatives do exist, and LWP is our effort to try and expose as many people as possible to those alternatives. LWP is the result of our ongoing research and efforts to find healthy and environmentally-friendly alternatives to plastic for key products in the home. We are an Internet-based retailer and distributor offering customers around the world non-plastic alternatives for day-to-day products such as water bottles, food storage containers and children’s dishes, bottles and cups.
We believe that change is always possible at all levels by all beings. We hope you will join us in some positive, luminous change.“

I’m not a parent, so I don’t know how horrible a child coming in contact with plastic could possibly be….
… however, I think the constant consumption of petrol is damaging North America and the world, socially, politically, ecologically, and in pretty much every manner otherwise. Anyone who looks for alternates to plastic or alternates to fossil-fuel-based energy is doing good work in my opinion.
