Green Thursday: No more plastic water bottles

Skip the bottled water. The oil used to make plastic water bottles in America is enough to fuel 100,000 cars for a year!
We're not very good about recycling them, either. Only 1 in 6 makes the green bin in the garage. I cringe at the overflowing garbage cans at summer festivals, peppered with empties.


Do the green thing, and drink tap water out of a glass. Blind taste tests show we can't taste the difference, and tap is better because it contains flouride to keep your teeth from falling out of your head. And at $2, $3, even $4 a bottle, think of the money you'll save.
Every Green Thursday, we post information vital to the environment.
