There is a solution for those of you who provide juice for your kids without buying loads of plastic bottles and juice boxes or pouches. Make the choice to purchase concentrated juice in aluminum cans or cardboard frozen cans. Then, mix your juice 5 parts of water to 1, instead of 3 to 1 (still tastes good while being lighter in calories). Mix it in your own ceramic or glass container and recycle the concentrate’s can.ÂÂ
Hey, when I was growing up, my mom mixed juice in a ceramic pitcher. We had it for years. No plastic jugs, no sippy cups, and no plastic juice pouches! Less landfill waste. Yeah!

I don't see reusable non toxic sippy cups a problem...I got a plastic thermos for kids,, my daughter uses it everyday at school...whats wrong with that? I don't throw it out....I recycle it myself.
Still trying to eliminate things...the recycling thing is hard to get use to...I have like a ton of boxes to take for recycling...
You know what I find horrible and wasteful.. the weekly flyers (sales)...we get lots of them every week..that is alot of trees....I try my best to have my flyers and bills sent through epost or email...saves paper...
