Plastic bags illegal in Toronto by Jan 1, 2013

[CruisnGrrl]

I tried to get hooked up on solar, grids full.

Often see cases of 24 bottles of water for 1$. That's 8.3c a litre, signiffcantly cheaper than an 18L jug of water which is about $12 on a REFILL. As for reusing the empties what would I reuse them for? Pour water into them from another water bottle? I have a nice steel water bottle for filling when I need to fill a water bottle from a larger source. As for a Britta, they are useless for anything worse than city tap water. Anyone that has hard water with minerals like sulfur, lime, iron will need something like a water softener with a still (very spendy) or reverse osmosis (which I can't stand the taste of).

Do you reuse your "little plastic bottles"?

As well, buy one reusable bottle and buy a brita filter because if you just continue to drink out of the plastic bottles that are nice and cheap than you might as well be drinking directly out of the tap

Plus, I bet if you lived in a small remote village where all you can do is drink from a well - drinking out of tap don't look so bad.

I have a brita filter and it doesn't do much, makes it a bit better, but after a couple weeks it's useless, and the filters aren't cheap. The water where i live smells like a55 and turns things yellow.

I live on farm where the closest town is 1100 people, so don't go telling me the water here should be good, it's quite the opposite. I think I might start having to buy bottled water, 'cause I find myself drinking way less here then I usually do.

Thank god I live just outside of the border of Toronto where bags are still free : -)


This has nothing to do with saving the ecology and more about taxing the population.

Jealous! I'm up in the Kawarthas and if I stop to buy some food on the way back from school (left my bags at home) I get stuck paying the 5cents. I don't mind all that much, but it would suck if there were no bags.
