EveryDay Eco: Ban the Bottle From Your Life

So this post is a bit of a cheat, because I already did a post about Hydrating Reusably at the Office (read there for facts/data/why it matters).  But last week we had an event at work honoring America Recycles Day and I got to meet environmental champion Ed Begley Jr....who was ONLY taking photos with employees that committed to refill.  My coworkers did me so proud!

And it motivated me to take my personal commitment one step further.  I changed a habit!  When I traveled this past weekend, I brought an empty reusable bottle through airport security and filled up on the other side.  I think for the first time!?  I really felt good AND there was a bit of pleasure in sticking it to the man by not paying the absurdly high post-security price of food and drink.

Want to hear a horrifying fact?  Those plastic water bottles behind Ed and I in the display represent the amount the U.S. throws away in less than one second.  The U.S. threw away 273 times that amount during the 2 hours of our recycling event.  Hundreds of people stopped by to look at it with disgust/horror faces, and it only made it clearer.  Time to ban the bottle from your life, it's the enviro(ish) thing to do.  Let's get to it!
psst....have you done it yet??  If not, why not?
