Canada bans plastic bottles

Wow! Leave it to Canada to drop the hammer on the chemical industry. There is overwhelming evidence that plastic bottles both used for drinking water (or other adult beverages) and infant formula contain dangerous chemicals that have harmful effects to those exposed both young and old. This was the first time a government took action to reduce exposure to B.P.A., bisphenol-A. Check out the article in the April 18, 2008 edition of the N.Y. Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/18/business/worldbusiness/18cnd-plastic.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print&adxnnlx=1219230725-J4mfYulnCH5Ooi22Pe3smQ). New York Senator Charles Schumer was reported as saying he will introduce a bill to ban the use of B.P.A. plastics in any food or beverage containers.
