                                FEW MONTHS AGO, I got a midday text from my 
                                son’s daycare. He had fallen off a rocking horse 
                                and bitten his tongue. It was a pretty 
                                run-of-the-mill injury for an 18-month-old, but 
                                they wanted to give me a heads-up ahead of 
                                pick-up that day; apparently there had been a 
                                fair amount of blood. When I went to gather him 
                                after work, he greeted me with a big grin, and a 
                                slightly bloody teether in his mouth. I was a 
                                little alarmed that his tongue was still 
                                bleeding. But I was more concerned about the 
                                teether. His teachers had lovingly given it to 
                                him to soothe his wound. But it was plastic, and 
                                the moment I saw it, I wanted to pluck it out of 
                                his mouth.</P>

                                many ways, this is a silly story. My son comes 
                                into contact with plastics every day of his 
                                life, in daycare as well as in our home. A few 
                                extra minutes with a teether really wasn’t a big 
                                deal. But the moment encapsulates the kind of 
                                anxiety I often face as a mom. I worry about the 
                                chemicals in my kids’ shampoo, the contaminants 
                                in the water they drink, the exhaust fumes from 
                                cars and the particulate pollution from 
                                wildfires that their tiny lungs inhale. But it’s 
                                plastic that bothers me more than anything else. 
                                I constantly worry about all the plastic my two 
                                children come in contact with — from the Legos 
                                they dump across our floors, to the stuffed 
                                animals they cuddle, to the packaging on the

                                We worry endlessly over the costs of childcare, 
                                the nutritional benefits of foods, the best 
                                sleep habits, and of course choking hazards,
