I found an interesting article today thanks to Lupa.

Here’s part of it:

SEEMS GREEN Recycling your disposable plastic water bottles.
TRUE GREEN Sipping tap water from a safely reusable metal bottle.
In the U.S., we dispose of about 70 million plastic water bottles daily. Fewer than 15% are recycled, and bottled water often isn’t any purer than what you can get from your faucet. Meanwhile, tap water is inexpensive and readily available.

That hits home to me because I’ve started drinking a lot more tap water recently, and what am I drinking it out of? An old Zephyrhills water bottle that I have leftover from when we were drinking bottled water because our well hadn’t been fixed yet.

The rest of the article is here: Better Ways to Go Green. I’m off to mail a couple of tote bags to some friends in St. Pete as I’ve started using fabric totes and they’re sending me two of their home-made tote bags in return for some of my earrings and two of the grocery store tote bags.

Trade is fun! and environmentally friendly!
