I agree. Some people are just pigs! I sure understand the disposal issue, but don't have a real fear of drinking something packaged in a plastic bottle. I drink a lot of Diet 7-Up in 1 liter bottles and save them for recycling projects. New uses are being created all the time. Some states charge a $.05 deposit on plastic bottles which has really assisted in getting them out of trash an into the recycling industry. I sawed the bottom off of a 1 liter bottle (leaving the cap on), and use it as a scoop to clean out my rain gutters. I also recycle plastic bottles. I must admit however, I tossed a bottle into the ocean a few years back. I had placed a message into it. It was off Point Reyes. . .If anyone finds it, please contact me, my phone number is on the message;-) |

The preference is tea, usually green. I'm a tea drinker too, Mark. . .My favorite lately is Bigelow's Red Raspberry. I like to use it to make Sun Tea, and then throw in mint leaves, and lemon slices. |

Being Diabetic, I drink a LOT of Diet 7-Up (no calories, no sugar.....but Sodium). Couldn't replace 7-Up with tea, but it would be a change......then try some of Myrl's filtering ideas with lemon and ice. Thanks for sharing!! |

That's the image created by Pepsico's Aquafina brand of water, and many consumers leap to the incorrect conclusion that Aquafina is sourced from mountain spring water. In reality, Aquafina comes from tap water. Yes, the same water you get when you turn on your kitchen faucet. Of course, Aquafina is filtered, purified Hopefully removing chlorine and flouride, pesticides and fertilizers... and perhaps even enhanced with trace amounts of added minerals, but it's certainly not mountain spring water.
