Water bottle waste
Posted by L on June 25, 2008
About six months ago my husband and I were appalled at the amount of water bottles we were throwing away. We live in Phoenix AZ (115-degrees) and while we recycle, but I began to wonder "Why not reduce even our recycle waste?". With all the plastics scare, we went down to our local Costco and purchased a 12-pack of 20-ounce Fuze drinks in glass bottles with resealable metal lids for $11.50. We drank the product, and now refill these dozen bottles with our PUR-pitcher filtered water. At a previous cost of about $8 a week in plastic water bottle cases, we now spend nothing to refill the glass. They are safe, green, and cold water just tastes better out of them. They are easily sanitized in the dish washer. Less recycle, money savings, no trash...we are pleased. As for breakable, we also have 4 aluminim refillable, non breakable water bottles that we take to the gym or tennis class. Last week we found even cheaper glass bottles by the dozen pack at Sams Club. about $5.50 for a dozen iced tea in glass bottles will resealable lids. That will be our next purchase when we need more bottles.
