Like you said, plastic doesn't become recycled plastic bottles, it becomes recycled plastic something else.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to let myself get a grip and then start gripping those Coke cans (ok, maybe a few less than before.)Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915194141694632310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780979693195745238.post-68682745993732960302008-06-17T16:05:00.000-04:002008-06-17T16:05:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing...I'm so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. That's got to be hard and, of course, you're going to want to find comfort where you can.<BR/><BR/>However, I think you will find more success with the challenge if you go back to aluminum. Why? Because it's actually more environmentally responsible. The aluminum can be recycled over and over, coming back to market in the same form. The plastic is made from oil and cannot be reused in the same form. Now, if you're refilling the same cup over and over again, maybe that's okay, but you still have the problem of drinking too much.<BR/><BR/>Go back to the cans for the ease in limiting amount. And remember, the cost to your health is higher than the cost of the cans over plastic. As an incentive to decrease your consumption, I'll point out one health cost: soda helps strip calcium from your bones. Taking calcium pills or drinking milk will not offset this. You need to decrease the source of the problem.<BR/><BR/>Now, find a nice person to hug and cry on their shoulder over your grandmother. No, you can't lean on the soda machine and cry there. Find a real live person. Hugs!Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
