best bet if you really like "bottled" water taste (i'm assuming the ones that are spring water, since most bottled water is nothing special except filtered at a pepsi or coke plant), i'd buy a larger jug of it, and use that to fill up your own bottle (like a kleen kanteen type bottle). at least then you'd reduce the bottling portion of your bottled water habit!
i love when i get peligrino in glass bottles instead of plastic. it has a slight off taste to it in the plastic, and the glass keeps it colder.
Could you please stick to the topic of plastic bags. You can take your bottled water agenda somewhere else.

Oh, I was confused. I thought the topic was plastic bags not plastic bags and bottled water. If the bottled water comes in a plastic bag, would that be OK to talk about?

Whoops, there's another member w/ a similar screen name. I got you two confused. No wonder In MD, I think all of our municipalities offer free recycling. No it's not free, of course, there are businesses and employees who are paid to transport the items.
I guess that's why you didn't get my Serial Mom, joke. LOL But I guess John Waters is famous nation-wide...
Is recycling not available in your area, or do you just choose not to recycle?

It varies across the country. Some places, like Cincinnati, offer totally free recycling (by paying a private contractor to do it), others pass the cost along to the consumer by having trash pick up (including recycling) paid directly by the homeowner. And, of course, some places do not do anything other than to provide a drop off point for aluminum cans.
People say that if the aluminum cans are dropped off, it doesn't cost the community anything (other than the gas, oil, auto expense and consumer time for the drop off). I don't believe it and have asked for an example of self sustaing aluminum recycling for consumer cans. I say, show me one.
There is no place in the US where recycling of a broad spectrum of recyclables is self sustaining. So, it consumes resources.
Check your city's budget. You will see an niice big allocation for recycling services. Sorry, nice try.
yes, my city pays for the collection of garbage and recycling. what's your point? should i have to take recycling to the center myself?
