water bottle facts

  • 63.4 billion plastic bottles end up in landfills or the ocean each year.
  • Only about 27% of all water bottles are recycled. 
  • Even so, recycling is time consuming and expensive. 
I've said it before, water bottles are like cockroaches. There are better options!

Cleaning the cleaner

The irony of some cleaning appliances like dishwahsers, is that they themselves get bogged down in unpleasant scents over time!

Try this with that round, yellow power house Martha Stewart once told you to use as decoration:  to sanitize your dishwasher and remove mineral deposits and odors, remove all dishes. Place ¼ cup of lemon juice in the soap dispenser and run through the normal cycle. Your dishwasher will be clean and smell wonderful!

Take a Breath . . .

A shout-out to non-believers of Global Warming:

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. ~John Kenneth Galbraith
