Recycling

[Karol]

I'm all for recycling but when I went to buy a bottle of water the other day at a service station the bottle was dirty grey. I was under the impression that food contact materials had to be virgin. Not any more apparently. Very scary:

Long term predicted impacts include hormone modulated cancers. I'm sticking to cans and glass now.

Or even a refillable vessel

Or even a refillable vessel

Yeah, but that won't keep the economy going.

Water can be a nasty thing....stick to beer

Or a plastic squeezable bottle for pourable honey. Another tick in the box for Artisan honey in quality safe glass jars.

I get my water from a revolutionary bit of kit installed in our kitchen
It's called a tap

Not very reassuring is it?
I tried taking a tap with me when travelling, but I could never get any water out of it. Strange really as it was the same model as the one in the kitchen!
I wonder what nasties lurk in plastic milk bottles? Mine today is stamped HDPE not PET. Once again, the old ways of reusable glassware seem safer and wiser than todays plastic.

I think i know where you went wrong. You need to tap dance in those circumstances. Its a modern version of a rain dance, when a more localised water supply is required.
