Plastic bottles and styrofoam cups are a great waste of oil and huge polluters of land and sea. Every home and every workplace should have a water filter so you can use a glass or ceramic drinking vessel and wash it afterwards instead of throwing it away. In the words of author Bill McDonough, “there is no ‘away’.” Everything goes somewhere.
Who can do this? You can.
What does it cost? Filters like this cost as little as $9.95.
