I learned from Teensygreen the other day that Brita will now start recycling their filters. As of January, you can take your used filtes to any Whole Foods store. If you don’t live near one, you can send them to Preserve, the company I wrote earlier about that recycles #5 plastics into toothbrushes and other items. Preserve asks that you send the filters in used cardboard boxes by ground shipping to this address:
Preserve Gimme 5
823 NYS Rte 13
Cortland NY 13045
Drinking filtered tap water instead of bottled spring water is now even more eco-friendly!
Brita Faucet Filter
That’s awesome! I knew that there were various campaigns to make this happen, so I’m thrilled that they were successful.
Groovy! There’s a Whole Foods right next to my church – don’t even have to make an extra trip!
