Microplastics, Heavy Metals, and Chemicals

Raul says:

The gist of what we do is the following - 

• We greatly reduce the microplastic exposure by providing our staff organic clothing. (And when I say organic, I mean natural fibers.)

• We also greatly encourage our parents to dress their children with organic materials

• We do not use plastic containers or tools in our kitchen, nor aluminum.

• Most of the foods we consume are not stored in plastic, and we wash them if they are in contact.

• We vacuum frequently and we filter our indoor air with HEPA filters.

• We clean our surfaces with a mixture of water, hydrogen peroxide (antiseptic agent), vinegar (technically not a surfactant, but good enough), and natural pine/camphor/eucalyptus oils (for aroma).

• The property has passed lead inspections

• NOTE: I have legitimate concerns with childcare centers where they actively chose to use turf as a playground material. I would assume that that is a large source of microplastic exposure, especially considering that it is under everyday UV ray exposure, nature's best 'force of degradation'.
