Even if the value of recycled glass increased in the future, there would still be the technical problem of separating glass from other recyclables at the Material Recovery Center. If glass ever becomes a significant recyclable, it will be done by companies that specialize in collecting and recycling glass separately from the bulk of the trash generated by the trash society.
Paper, plastic, or neither? This ubiquitous question posed at the checkout aisle was recently examined in a comprehensive consumer study by Edelman Berland. Amidst a trend of grocery bag regulations in some cities and states, ‘reusable’ shopping bags which include non-woven polypropylene and low density polyethylene bags, are often emphasized in legislation as an environmentally friendly alternative to paper and plastic bags. The team conducted this consumer survey to determine how often consumers reuse their ‘reusable’ bags and also find out which bag consumers ultimately pick for groceries.

Bottled Water BACKLASH
Knopper, Melissa. E : the Environmental Magazine 19.3 (May/Jun 2008): 36-39.
[...] after big client meetings, she Jl collected all the empty mm plastic water bottles, took them home
and added them to her own curbside recycling bin. High school activists are raising questions about why
their school board members are locking them into a contract with Coke or Pepsi (makers of Aquafina and
Dasani bottled water) when they have access to drinking fountains for free. Now that more people are
trying get out of the bottled water habit, groups like Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and EWG
wonder if this new awareness will translate into more support for public water supplies, and for water
conservation in general.
Jennifer Phillips always felt guilty that her large Nashville law firm didn't recycle. So after big client
meetings, she Jl collected all the empty mm plastic water bottles, took them home and added them to
her own curbside recycling bin. Now, she is proud to report that her firm, Bass, Berry & Sims, serves an
icy pitcher of tap water during meetings. "We even have glasses with the company logo on them," she
says. Phillips estimates switching to tap keeps 3,000 plastic water bottles per week out of the landfill.
It's a trend that is taking hold in the s U.S., Europe and Canada: more people are switching from bottled
water to tap. Call it reverse snob appeal. Bottled water once carried a certain European mystique. But
these days, it's the tap water enthusiasts, concerned about the environment, who get to act self-
righteous. Just like it has become cool to bring your own cloth bags to the grocery store and your own
mug to the coffee shop, the reusable water bottle is the hip, new eco accessory.
It's because people like Phillips and David WiIk, a Connecticut book publisher and tap water activist, have
started to connect the dots. For WiIk, it happened on the soccer field. After his sons finished their games,
he noticed the grass was littered with bottled water and Gatorade empties. Pretty soon, WiIk started
showing up with a huge container of tap water. Now all the kids bring their own bottles and fill up when
thirsty.

"We have such a consumption mentality, which leads to our throw-away society," says WiIk, who started
the website Turntotap.com to build more support for public water supplies and to cut down on the
amount of plastic going into landfills. "I think the cost of our behavior should be built into the. products,"
WiIk says.
A Gathering Revolt
In Canada, the bottled water issue has become, as WiIk says, an "uprising." College students are staging
protests-declaring "bottled water-free zones" on campus. High school activists are raising questions about
why their school board members are locking them into .

Bottled Water: More Than Just a Story About Sales Growth; Stringent Federal, State and Industry Standards Help Ensure Safety, Quality and Good Taste
[New York] 09 Apr 2007:
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The InternationalBottled Water Association (IBWA), in conjunction with Beverage MarketingCorporation (BMC), today released bottled water statistics for the year 2006,compiled by BMC. These numbers show that U.S. bottled water sales andconsumption continue to rise, as consumers increasingly choose bottled waterover other beverages.
The latest upward trend was reflected in 2006 when total bottled water volume exceeded 8.25 billion gallons, a 9.5 percent increase over 2005, and the 2006 bottled water per capita consumption level of 27.6 gallons increased by over two gallons, from 25.4 gallons per capita the previous year. Additionally, the wholesale dollar sales for bottled water exceeded $10.8 billion in 2006, an 8.5 percent increase over the $10 billion in 2005. These statistics demonstrate continued consumer demand and appreciation for the convenience and good taste of bottled water brands consumed on-the-go, during exercise, at restaurants or meetings, and at home or the office. However, consumers should also know that bottled water safety and quality result from multiple layers of regulation and standards at the federal, state and industry levels.
Bottled water is comprehensively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a packaged food product, and has issued stringent standards for safety, quality, production, labeling, and identity. Along with the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which are required of all foods, bottled water must comply with several other applicable regulations, including Standards of Identity, Standards of Quality and additional, specific bottled water GMPs. Being a packaged food product, bottled water is also bound by the Nutrition Labeling Education Act (NLEA) and the full range of FDA protective measures designed to enforce product safety and protect consumers. States also regulate bottled water inspections, sampling, analyzing and approving bottled water sources. Testing laboratory certification is another area where states may regulate bottled water. As part of the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice, IBWA members voluntarily utilize the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) for a science-based approach to bottled water production and safety. FDA recognizes HACCP as a key component of food safety and consumer protection.
"While all beverages have their role in a marketplace with an abundance of drink choices," says Stephen R. Kay, IBWA Vice President of Communications, "consumers are choosing bottled water as a refreshing, hydrating beverage and as an alternative to others that may contain calories, caffeine, sugar, artificial colors, alcohol or other ingredients, which they wish to moderate or avoid. For instance, during 2006, individual ...
