In my previous post, I gave a trio of 10-year-old Kyle Marsh's suggested actions to take in defense of endocrine-interrupting chemicals. He provided 10, and in the limitless real estate of blogging, I could easily have included all of them, and my inclination was to do so.
Except as almost always happens when I'm trying to take notes, I didn't quite get it all. And I could hardly give "Nine of Kyle Marsh's 10 Tips." And then Scott Davis, who follows me on Twitter, asked for the other 7, and I knew I'd been busted.
So hear are the six others that I got, and maybe I'll be able to follow up with Kyle later for the one I missed, which I would have done had I not had to depart early:
- Ban plastic water bottles.
- Choose alternatives to pesticides.
- Eat wild salmon instead of farmed.
- Switch from chemical lawn care.
- Avoid clothing with stain-proof coatings (those are PFCs).
- Decline thermal-paper store receipts.
They're not perfect; I often need my receipt, for example. But there you have them. To recap, these are the three I cited earlier:
- Choose fresh or frozen veggies, to avoid the epoxy lining in cans.
- Buy USDA organic food.
- Favor cookware not coated with teflon, such as cast iron.
