Better Tasting Water...

So, do you use those Brita filtration pitchers or faucet heads that make your water taste ever so much more fresh, and well, like water? I do, but I have long been concerned over the disposal of the filters. Apparently I'm not the only one. They have been recycling the filters in Europe for some time, but we're a little behind. We do not recycle them, and they're headed for the trash . Still less plastic headed for the landfill (for those of you who do not recycle) than bottled water, but still a problem none the less. Think of a few million filters that could have been reclaimed rather than thrown away. An online petition to the Clorox company has been formed. To sign it go to http://www.takebackthefilter.org and ask them to start a program to recycle used filters, reuse plastic for new ones, and maybe make the refillable. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to do a little more to help out.
