Eco-Friendly Idea: Axing Single-Serve Plastic Waterbottles
Single-serve plastic waterbottles. The debate. I've always been a skeptic. Personally, I do not use and/or purchase them...ever. Convienient...maybe. Eco-friendly...not so much. I paid particular attention to how many plastic waterbottles I picked up on my eco-walk this evening. Sick! They are EVERYWHERE!!! So...here's an option:
I recently recieved a comment from an individual with the alias of EcoDisc who plugged their new reuseable water bottle known as the Hydropal. Now, I'm sure this is not the only one of its kind on the market, but the idea is excellent and smart. EcoDisc commented, "it allows people to reduce water bottle pollution, and one of the reasons for this invention is that I was so sick of going for a run, and all I see in my streets and parks is discarded single serve plastic waterbottles." I couldn't agree more, and any possible way to reduce pollution is novel to me! If you are interested, check out their site @ http://www.hydropal.com.au/. All the best, EcoDisc! And cheers, Eco-Runners! Run 4 more!

I hope - once the new bottle law comes into effect, we will see less water bottles on the ground.
Right now,in Oregon, they are non refundable.
PS
I bring my own plastic bottle to races. I tried glass but was to worried about dropping it.
I give out Sigg bottles to runner friends as gifts, along with some bags of powder Gatorade. I'm was disgusted at seeing the amount of plastic Gatorade bottles they go through in just one week. http://www.mysigg.com
Most runners have not ever stopped to think about any negative impact of their running has on the environment.
