Finding items "Not made in China" is a daunting task; it's even harder to find things "Made in the USA". Don't get me wrong, if an item is manufactured in the USA, it doesn't guarantee safety, but it's a good start!
So, for many reasons, I am determined to rid my home of things Made in China, and also to resist buying anything new that is Made in China. This is my mission! As I look around my home, I see that it is a major undertaking.
The first step is a difficult, emotional separation - Replacing my COFFEE MUG - The mug I've used for years to start each day with a morning coffee meditation. (OK, so I had to envision all those toxins leaching out of the cracks into my coffee before I took action.) After searching through all big and small stores, I realized that there were NO ceramic mugs Not Made in China. However, I did find glassware that is made in the USA, so that is what I bought.
Subsequently, I replaced all my plastic "glasses" with Luminarc glasses, Made in the USA. Libby and Anchor Hocking are two other US glassware manufacturers. Plus all of the items were very inexpensive!
