Audrey replied on Nov 17, 2008Why purchase bottled water ever? Or bottled pop? Are we really so gullible that we think disposable items make our lives better? They reduce the time people used to spend making and cleaning things, but haven’t made our lives any less busy, If anything, the illusion that we would have more free time has only created a culture where we cram our lives even more full!
The busyness crams people and fun out, but that doesn’t have to be….
If you want to have a party, for example, you can use all disposables to allow more time to party. When we were kids, we had plenty of ‘party’ fun, doing dishes together in the kitchen w/ all of our guests. Some of my fondest memories as a child and adult were made in the kitchens of home, friends, church, etc, having ‘suds wars’, dish towel snapping contests, etc.
Reject the sales pitch that material ‘ease’ will make you happy, and enjoy everyday relationships that are so much more satisfying.

Perhaps the real mission here to affect change, instead of switching from Aquafina to Dasani when enough people sign up, would be to have this be oriented towards our politicians and representatives. Petition for a bill to make the production of not compostable bottles illegal. This isn’t really unprecedented, anyone have a CFL light bulb in their house? They’ve had some good press lately.

I agree—let’s get the attention of folks who have clout (which in our society translates to money…)
Compostable containers could be good, but how much land would be used (especially land cleared in 3rd world tropical countries to grow cane, bamboo, etc) to produce our beloved disposables? Containers would need to be restricted to being made from agricultural waste products only, such as the cellulosic parts of the corn plant (stems, leaves), not the kernels.
Why not go one step further and go after the disposables mentality? Create fat tax incentives for companies and individuals who use re-usables. Petition for a bill that phases out disposable containers somehow. It’s not as if we NEED disposables, we’ve simply become accustomed to using them without even thinking about it.
Glass can be re-used until it breaks, and broken glass can be recycled numerous times. Plastics, on the other hand, can typically be recycled only once, to a lower-grade plastic (or to synthetic fabrics).
Go for it!

louis vuitton bags in some small position will be printed on production factory and said in the manufacturing number, general points by two English words and four digits composition. Every louis vuitton glasses will have. And produce different years. louis vuitton shoes types, serial number is endless also and same. And copy product serial number will have, but often a fake factory produce of use the same serial number. Must pay attention, some cheap louis vuitton 1987 years ago to produce of louis vuitton outlet have no such number.
