Speaking of plastic bottles..

My wife brought home a Brita water filter system today. you know, one of the ones that is supposed to make water safer?

Now where do you think the plastic bottles and plastic jug come from?

China of course!

I wonder how many poisonous/cancer causing chemicals go into those when they make them? They are even tinted - probably another nice outlet for lead based paint products.

I'm afraid to dispose of the set by burning because of the damage to the atmosphere..
