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.
But thereâs another problem in the plastic-trash minefield that needs tackling â in the U.S., 1,500 plastic water bottles are consumed every second. Hereâs why thatâs a major problem for humans, the environment, and the animals on our planet.n addition to the negative impacts of BPA and phthalates on human health there are also growing concerns regarding carcinogens and microbial contaminants that have been found in test samples of bottled water. Bottling plants also cause problems for the humans who live near them.
