Eco- Tip of the Month!!!

Alright this is the first of many series I hope to come to this blog. The post and what is used for is described in the 'how this blog will work' post in the month of August, look in the archive. So the Eco-Tip for this month is BYOB bring your own bottle. Water bottle for this matter. Many people hey i'll buy this diposable water bottle and maybe use it for the week. WRONG!!!! the diposable water bottles with the # 1 or 2 recycle seem toxins into your body after refilling it once. So the short and simple answer go with a tin or a nalgene type bottle. If you decide to use the nalgene bottle make sure it's BPA free. BPA is a chemical that was in a lot of water bottles before three or four months ago. It was proven to cause hormonal issues in peoples offsprings. So I wouldn't use old nalgene watere bottles or any with the recycle numbers 3,5, or 6 unless it was proven to be BPA free.

   According to FilterForGood.com, the average American used 167 disposable water bottles in 2006 and only recycled 38. If just one person stopped buying disposable water bottles, they would be saving 129 bottles from ending up in landfills a year. Click on the link and you can take a pledge to not use disposable water bottles and it shows you how many water bottles; you, your state, your city, and your neighborhood have save.  IT'S REALLY COOL CHECK IT OUT!!!
