Recycle or Reuse
Be earth friendly!
1 ton of recycled plastic saves
685 gallons of fuel!
It's not the plastic that is
wasting the fuel, it's the lack of recycling.
There are two choices that you as a consumer can
make to help keep our planet green.
1. Recycle your plastic. Bottled water is
not the only thing that comes in plastic. In fact it only comprises about 1% of
all the plastic in the landfills and it is the easiest to recycle and the
cleanest. You don't even have to waste water to clean it before tossing it in
your recycle bin like other things such as peanut butter jars, jelly jars,
honey, mayonnaise and all kinds of other sticky hard to clean and higher water
use type of plastic containers. Even plastic juice and soda bottles have
to to be rinsed but not bottled water bottles. Your recycled bottled water
bottle can be turned into all kinds of useful and cool things like indoor out
carpet, grocery totes and hundreds of other things. Not recycling causes
companies that need plastic to use virgin plastic which would probably end up
costing you and the planet more in the long run so please recycle.
2. Pay a little extra money and you can have your
Model on a Bottle in new Enso bottles with EcoPure! This new type of
biodegradable plastic breaks down in landfills in only 3-5 years instead of
1,000 yrs. The cost is less then 10 cents extra per bottle.
Just
ask for it before ordering.
3. Don't forget to separate your bottled
water caps. Do not put them in the recycle bin. They jam up the
machines and cause problems. You can mail them off to Aveda

who will have them turned into new things.

Virgin plastic you can get. They are highly desirable for recycle

want to reuse your bottle or recycle it. If you reuse it just rinse in
warm soapy water, rinse well and air dry upside down with plenty of air
ventilation before reuse. But first peel off the collectible label and save it.
There's probably a coupon on there you can use or your favorite talent who just
might be a big star someday if they are not already.
Let's talk about Recycling
Is there a happy medium? Personally,
I agree with Mayor Greg Nickels about not filling up the landfills but I would
be out of business before I started if I agreed with totally banning bottled
water so I searched online for resources to this problem. This is what I
found.
