		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to make mistakes when you&#8217;re trying to be eco friendly. There are a lot of confusing options, and many terms aren&#8217;t regulated, so claims of one sort of eco friendliness or another may not mean what you think they mean. Even the terms &#8220;green&#8221; or &#8220;eco friendly&#8221; don&#8217;t have significant meanings, although the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think most parents these days know that there are issues with plastics containing bisphenol-A (BPA). There&#8217;s a reason why more and more plastic goods, especially those aimed at children, are being advertised as BPA-free. But is that really enough? Are other types of plastic safer? The problem with BPA is that it&#8217;s estrogenic &#8211; [...]]]></description>
