Clean Drinking Water...From Thin Air
Get Schooled in Bottled Water
I spent a little time this AM talking with the staff at the Responsible Purchasing Network (www.responsiblepurchasing.org) which is a project of the Center for a New American Dream working to create markets for green products and practices. They were Film Productions-Los Angeles
Working on film productions in the LA area for 20 years, I have seen an unbelievable amount of plastic bottles as well, paper products going to waste. Although, there have been many attempts to recycle most of it, but the plain fact is that it has not been as successful as one would like.

And what about adding some brand new HP notebooks, smart phones and hard drives onto that boat while you’re being propelled by both the sun and the cool morning wind? Top Ten Reasons to Avoid Bottled Water
1) It takes approximately three 8oz bottles of water to make one disposable plastic bottle…so that we can get 8oz of hydration. Canteens ???
Since I have an interest in bottled water from a number of different perspectives, I was intrigued by the following tweet from Bottledh2OBabe: @SustainableArch Did u know there's a national shortage of rPET? Ask ur local gov to expand programs & offer public space recycling.
Can a bottle change the way people think about recycling?
Can a bottle change the way people think about recycling? The folks at re-source hope so. By using 25% recycled plastic and providing education on recycling, they hope to raise awareness and also increase U.S. recycling rates of PET plastic bottles. Right now, you’ll find re-source natural spring water is available at Whole Foods Market. |
