The German-American Steuben Parade is held in New York City every third Saturday in September starting at noon, and runs along Fifth Avenue from 64th Street to 86th Street. For over 50 years, the parade has celebrated the German culture with crazy costumes, floats, music, and dance.
âsomeone discovered that cycling water bottles (or bidons) contained a toxic chemical called BPAâ. I donât think anybody needed to âdiscoverâ it. If I recall correctly, BPA is deliberately added to the plastic to make it less hard and brittle, more squeezy. What was discovered is that BPA can be an estrogen mimic.
In a nutshell, PVC plastic is uniquely toxic among plastics because of its highly toxic ingredients which readily migrate into the environment during its production, its use, and its disposal.Pure PVC plastic is 57% chlorine, a toxic substance whose production generates substantial pollution (see below). Vinyl is the least recyclable plastic because of the diversity of additives used to make different types of PVC products. 2  In addition, when PVC-products are accidentally mixed with non-chlorine plastics, they contaminate the entire recycling process.
