She cautioned me about using straws because they just sit at the garbage dump forever & when we bought her yogurt for a snack at night she suggested we wash out the containers & save them for left-overs (which I do more often now & think of her every time).

I want to garden more next year. My concern there is the health of the soil. Yogurt containers make me crazy. They aren't type 1 or 2 which mean they aren't recyclable out here. I should try making my own yogurt you some day. <br /><br />Sara, the filters shouldn't filter out floride. Read what it says on the filter you use. Also, different towns add different amounts of floride to the water supply.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018384922813669204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-48945960351138061042009-09-15T16:40:08.812-06:002009-09-15T16:40:08.812-06:00we've been using reusable bottles filled from ...we've been using reusable bottles filled from our own tap for a couple years now. it's not just less trash and less money, but after hazel's expensive dental surgery last fall, we learned that kids acually NEED unfiltered water for dental health. i had no idea. there is so much conflicting information out there. <br />keep fighting the good fight!saranoreply@blogger.com
