Starting to buy Back-to-School Supplies? I know I have started stocking up. What choices can you make that are more green this year?
One great change you can make this year is that instead of buying your kids a plastic water bottle for their lunchbags, you could make a greener choice by purchasing a stainless steel water bottle.
Refill, Reuse, Reduce. Plastics are forever and stainless steel water bottles can actually be recycled! The average American uses 168 water bottles a year - can this be your year where you don't use any?

I agree that we should refill and reuse. The amount of plastic bottles we waste is staggering, and it is a very real environmental problem. Using a wholole house water filter like http://Htruo.com will ensure that when you do refill, it's safe and clean water!
