I think I'll work at replacing the coffee pot and the water cooler first, as they see the most use. Canned food is easily donated away and replaced. Storing food in glass containers is easy enough.
I have work to do, lol.

looking at pitcher filters, they are all made of plastic too. not all plastics are bad but its often not clear which plastics to avoid. a rough guide can be done using the recycle code on the bottom but that doesn't always mean it doesn't contain bpa. i don't think you'd have to worry about the toaster as its just the outside that is plastic, the food doesn't touch it but the other things are basically what i plan to replace too.
