in Forget Plastic, Try Boxed Water on Keetsa Eco-Friendly and Green Blog
Oy vey! Bottled water, whether it's packaged in plastic or corn or cardboard (which, by the way, is coated with plastic) is a huge environmental burden. I really feel that those of us who write green blogs have a responsibility to urge people to fill up reusable bottles from the tap rather than supporting an industry that extracts water from one area and ships it to another.

in A Lesson About Greenwashing and Laundry on Chris Baskind dot com
Thank you for such a thorough, thoughtful, and skeptical review. So many green bloggers these days just accept whatever marketing companies tell them without question and regurgitate the results on their sites. I really, really appreciated reading this, and it was fun. Kinda like a mystery!

in Is it Safe to Microwave Plastic? on The Soft Landing Blog
Mmmm... Stouffer's macaroni and cheese with a side of BPA. Delish.
I kid, but can't count the number of Stouffer's mac & cheese frozen meals I lived on back in the day before Fake Plastic Fish. Oh, how ignorance was such bliss. That stuff is such awesome comfort food. Especially the hard crunchy cheesy bits on top.
Sometimes I wish I could return to the simpler time before I really understood how toxic all this crap is. A rainy afternoon w/ Stouffer's mac and Entenmann's chocolate cake... those days have flown.

in Woah! Did they just say “Recycling is Bullshit”? Twice?!? on EcoZebra
Recycling kind of is bullshit if it's used as an excuse to overconsume. But you just said that.
I believe producers should be responsible for taking back and recycling their crap. That's why we're so excited that Brita is going to announce a recycling program for its water filter cartridges:
http://www.takebackthefilter.org
If companies are going to create disposable products, they ought to be responsible for cleaning them up. Then, perhaps, they'd create fewer in the first place.

in Plastic water bottle advertising campaign from Brita on Green Blog
Hi. Thanks for mentioning Take Back The Filter! We're collecting used filters and petition signatures, for those who don't know. We'd like Clorox in North America to recycle the filters the way the German company already does in Europe.
