H2O or H2O?

If bottled water is so bad for us, what sort of container should we buy water in?
Tap water may be best, depending on where you live, but it is not feasible for everything and everyone. Should water come in cans? Does it already? Should we return to glass bottles for water? Is recycling the plastic bottles the main issue now that some of the chemicals are changing to become (somewhat) safer? Are people more likely to recycle cans or glass? Is there less harm to the planet if we use glass or cans? Aluminum cans or steel?

Looking into options....


This is interesting. Not quite for everyday use, but this begins to answer the question of emergency supplies.

A matter of perspective and proportion

How long do sweets/cookies/candy last?

Halloween Candy?

Easter Candy?

Candy Canes?

Girl Scout cookies?

A bag of M&Ms?

Hershey kisses?

Frango Mints?

I keep finding these things from months or sometimes years ago in my cabinets and in the fridge. I like sweets, as does my family, but we don't seem to eat them very often.

Gone for Good?

When was the last time you saw a phonebooth?
