[Phobie]

That's amazing. Shit man.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Wow. Both are kinda scary, especially the first one.

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

Those are awesome and sad and powerful.


But, what could we possibly use if not disposable plastic bottles?

 

[Raziaar]

Just looked at them all. Pretty cool stuff.

As for disposable plastic bottles... I don't drink soda, I only drink water pretty much. And I use the same plastic bottle for a few months on end, washing it regularly.

<environmental flex>

;(

 

[The Monkey]

A lot of the pictures aren't showing.

I mostly drink water or tea now. I get 2.5 gallon jugs of distilled water (I try to avoid tap water), and have a large travel mug that pretty much never leaves my side...

Anyway, yeah, awesome pictures that sporadicly show...

Site's down. :frown:

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

Has it been dugg or slashdotted or something?

I can't stand distilled water. That's just pure H2O and it's disgusting! I need minerals in my water. I don't drink tap water though, I filter it out.

 

[Druckles]

I've seen these before... must have been dugg. I believe there was a cigerette one there... Can't seem to find it...

 

[VirusType2]

Just for the record, everyone I know (granted is not very many people) recycles everything.

Paper, cardboard, tin, aluminum, computers parts, oil, antifreeze, and plastics.


Anyway, the best thing to do is use less, because I've seen on TV that it actually costs more to recycle than to buy new, especially when you consider driving to recycling plants, but in my area, I'm already making a trip to go to the dump which is 1 mile away luckily, and it doesn't take but an extra minute every week or two to throw them in the correct bins at the dump.

Cool Mosaics none the less, though the We The People one is tasteless.

It's been Sterned.

 

[Hellrider]

Recycling is bullshit.

 

[The Monkey]

Recycling is bullshit.

I ****ing hate that show.

That's pretty bad for you. The bottle has a shelf life and once you continue reusing it over and over again, the properties of that plastic bottle begin to deteriorate and absorb into the fluid that you are drinking.
People get cancer this way, in fact, I believe Sherill Crow got breast cancer this way because she would reuse the same bottle over and over again on her road trips.

 

[Vegeta897]

I ****ing hate that show.

Agreed.

 

[Hellrider]

There's a show called recycling is bullshit?

I entered this thread because of a mild fit of dyslexia. I thought the title was extreme pornography.

So is that what the hard lump near my spine is from?


**** though... I didn't know that! I hate drinking out of glass. It always leaves a poor taste.

Argh.

 

[Naudian]

No but there is one called Bullshit. (Penn & Teller: Bullshit!)

 

[MJ12]

I hate drinking out of glass. It always leaves a poor taste.

Argh.

You really think? I always find drinking out of a glass gives it the best flavor with the exception that Pepsi tastes good out of a can sometimes.

 

[Viperidae]

Ah, Canada: the wonderful land where sewage does not come out of your taps.

 

[Raziaar]

The other big problem with glass is that I can't usually drink the vast quantities of water I normally consume.

Maybe I'll have to find myself a glass jug of sorts to use. I'll drink out of a moonshine container!

 

[kineaesth]

I like having tap water that isn't yuck.

 

[AtomicSpark]

I've seen a few Bullshit shows. I tend to agree with them.
