Environment In The News


Happy Holidays!


I hope everyone has been enjoying their Thanksgiving break! Did you do any grocery shopping before your turkey dinner? Did you use your reusable bags? New results have shown that reusable grocery bags contain elevated levels of lead, which has some consumers concerned.


The good news, however, is that the amount of lead in the bags is not really enough to contaminate your food. Also, companies who produce reusable bags are now working to eliminate lead from their products all together.


To decide for yourself if you will switch back to paper or plastic, LISTEN to/ READ this NPR article.
