You must transfer water from a plastic bottle to a stainless steel glass before drinking it. Start saving the leftover foods in glass or stainless steel containers. Dump those impressive plastic lunch boxes and opt for simple stainless steel lunch-boxes. Go out to dine in restaurants rather than choosing home delivery options. If you really need to get food home-delivered, ask about the grade of packaging plastic material used for packaging while ordering your food. Mothers should try not to let their infants and toddlers sip milk from conventional plastic bottles.
