DO JUST ONE THING

• One of the simplest ways to avoid microplastics from getting into what you cook and eat at home is to switch from a plastic cutting board to a wooden one. When you use a plastic board, tiny flecks of plastic can end up in whatever you’re slicing and dicing on the board. Not convinced? Take a look at your plastic board. If there are visible scratches, you’re creating microplastics. A wooden board is better for you, lasts longer, won’t dull knives as quickly and can easily be sanitized for food safety purposes, too.

This discrepancy has raised concerns for me as a parent, as I value the importance of accurate and respectful education, particularly when it comes to matters of faith and belief.
