Going back to the first-ever groovygreensisters post (about water)... I used to be a huge water snob. Water is the only thing I drink (seriously - no milk, juice, coffee... just water!). For years, I hated the taste of the tap water in my area, so I bought gallons of bottled water.Even though I recycled every gallon jug, I did start to feel bad about my impact a year or so ago, so my husband and I started buying those Brita water filters that go right on the tap. That has been working out great, except now I am starting to feel guilty about throwing out this huge plastic filter thingie every three months or so. They are not recyclable, as far as I know. At least with the gallon water jugs, I could recycle those... but my Brita filters will be in a landfill forever. Does anyone know of any tap water filters that are recyclable, or at least have less of an impact on the planet?
