39 Harmless Habits at Home That Unknowingly Affect Eco-Friendliness
Harmless Habits Home: Watch Out for Plastic Cutting Boards
Plastic cutting boards may seem like a practical alternative to wood, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Compared to wooden cutting boards, which are easy to clean, plastic cutting boards harbor more bacteria. Additionally, studies have shown that wooden cutting boards are generally healthier than plastic ones. Additionally, because they are softer on your knife than a plastic board, they will hold their edge longer.
Finally, there’s a chance that every time you cut on a plastic cutting board, tiny pieces of plastic, known as microplastics, could be released. So when cutting food, be environmentally responsible and stick to wood or bamboo.
