Comment on: Today, ban on bottled water; tomorrow, ice cream? - Editorials - The Boston Globe

Comment on: University of Vermont students adjust to a campus without bottled water - Metro - The Boston Globe

Comment on: With new year, Concord braces for ban on single-serving water bottles - Metro - The Boston Globe
It's not insanity ... this is for your own protection. Be grateful that there are people in Concord who know what's best for you. I do agree that an outright ban is a little extreme, and that some p more »

Comment on: State highway safety chief has long driving record, recent accident - Metro - The Boston Globe
Talk about experience! Who better to lead the safety department than someone who's been around the block a few times -- all she needs is a DUI and a road rage incident to make the safety Hall of Fame! more »

Comment on: All wet in Concord - Metro - The Boston Globe
It is much cheaper to manufacture a bottle from recycled plastic than it is from virgin PET. The bottling industry should want MORE recycling to get access to more recycled PET. Instead of restraint more »

Comment on: Expanding bottle law would reduce litter and help the poor, advocates say - Metro - The Boston Globe
'Irony' is that this is veiled as an environmental measure, yet advocates for those who go through RECYCLING bins to obtain containers and then redeem them. Municipal recycling throughout Massachusett more »

Comment on: Bottle law expansion approved by state Senate; would add nickel deposit to bottled water - - Boston.com
'Municipalities would save as much as $7 million in disposal costs, the administration says.' How can that be? Bottles and cans go into curbside recycling or local transfer station. PET water bottles more »

Comment on: Boston launching media blitz against sugary drinks - Boston Medical News - White Coat Notes - Boston.com
Last I checked, there's no fat in soda...ZERO. I get that calories are stored as fat before (or until) they are burned ... buy why pick on soft drinks? Fat and calories are throughout the spectrum of more »

Comment on: Bottle law: Itâs about the money - The Boston Globe
The bottle bill robs MA towns of the valuable PET #1 and aluminum that they should be recovering curbside or in transfer stations. These materials are 5-10x more valuable than everything else that goe more »

Comment on: 'Mass. lawmakers consider deposits on more drinks'
The bottle bill is BAD for the environment, and deprives municipalities of the resale value of PET & Aluminum. The bottle bill requires me to pay an extra $0.05 per container, clean and sort it, load more »

Comment on: 'Bottle bill, RIP'
The plastic (PET) and aluminum used in soft drink, water and beer containers has real $$ value. The bottle bill siphons those valuable materials from local curb-side programs and places them into a re more »

Comment on: Grand ambitions - The Boston Globe
I too admire these women's ability to raise awareness of real issues...but not a town that would be instantly moved to a restraint-of-trade action after hearing, once, the single-side of an issue. more »
