Bright ideas we gathered from your comments.

1) Here’s one good solution to a lot of bad plastics. “Found the link for the ideas about what to do with your nalgenes,” says Sara, who sends us to Baby Toolkit’s post on reusing BPA. Baby Toolkit has also started a Flickr group for you to add your plastic repurposing ideas. Join our conversation on bad plastics.

2) Those symbols on plastic bottles are good for more than recycling. Francie also shares in the bad plastics post, “If it’s a 2,4, or 5, it’s one of the healthy plastics; they do not leach into your food. If it’s a 3, 6, or 7, avoid it; it leaches viny chloride, styrene, and bisphenol A, respectively.” To learn more, visit National Geographic’s Green Guide posts on kitchen plastic containers and nalgene information.

3. Z Recommends also has comprehensive posts on plastics. Finally, Sara sends us to Z Recommends for comprehensive updates on the plastics used for children’s food containers. Are you freaked out by bad plastics?

4. Other beekeepers have exciting updates. Stop by Hawk’s Nest Farm to see the progress of pbird’s hive. Pbird says, “The queens in our 3 hives are thriving and performing their royal duties magnificently. Lots of new baby bees hatching. Workers in 2 hives made queen egg cells which we immediately scraped out to prevent the colonies from making new queens. Apparently, that is what happens when they get a little annoyed with their queens performance. As a bee new-bee, whoa, this is all fascinating.” See Angela’s own bee update (Yay for larvae! Hee.) here.
