Concerns about toxins are bringing glass jars back into style
The Mason jar rules Dana Driesman's kitchen. In a quest to live without potentially dangerous plastics, the Mississauga mother stocks her fridge and freezer with jars filled with food and drinks. She even sends her three-year-old daughter to daycare with her lunch packed in mini-Mason jars.
"A lot of people think it's such a hassle, such a bother," she says of portioning out and repackaging her food. "It takes 10 minutes out of my day. But if that's the most safe thing, let's do it."
With Health Canada set to ban polycarbonate baby bottles, which contain the estrogen-mimicking chemical bisphenol A, many Canadians are seeing all the plastics around them in a newly unflattering light and scrambling for alternatives.
Early adopters of a plastic-free existence are only too happy to move from the fringe to the mainstream.
