I love those hats! I have heard of a few companies that manufacture from recycled materials but not Repreve. I think we need to make less plastic water bottles and repurpose the ones that are already there – like they are doing.

I definitely pay attention to materials. I’ve been working for over a year now to buy as little plastic as possible. I haven’t heard of Reprieve, though – they sound pretty cool. I’ll definitely check out their website.
I just bought a re-usable shopping bag from Chico that’s made out of recycled plastic – love it!!

It is really important for folks to know that there are other options when it comes to their water bottles. I have seen a few companies do similar when it comes to office supplies. It’s pretty amazing what they can make out of “trash”.

In reply to jen. I hate it when towns make recycling so difficult. But it's hard in a rural area. We're lucky in that we have recycling pick up every Friday. We don't even have to sort it out. Very handy. We're to the point where we have very little trash.

In reply to The Dose of Reality. It's crazy, isn't it? This is why we try to avoid plastic bottles in our house.

How cool is that company! I try really hard not to buy things in bottles especially water but it’s really hard. It is just so convenient. And to top it all off in our area where we are rural we bring our own garbage to the garbage site so recycling is a real pain.
I always feel so guilty if I don’t recycle every little thing.(glass, paper,plastic, cans) I’d love to have a better system for organizing and storing my stuff however bugs in the house/ wild animals outside are a real problem.
