This New Year, I resolved to GET OFF THE BOTTLE! Watching the Fiji bottles pile up in the recycling week after week, shelling out $2.00 a bottle, and considering the carbon footprint with the distance from Fiji those bottles must travel, the guilt finally took it’s toll. My “conversion kit” consists of PUR faucet mount and dispenser filters and four fabulous, pricey-but-worth-it, Sigg reusable aluminum bottles.
Worth noting, Fiji, no doubt in response to growing public scrutiny, launched Fiji Green this year. Judging by their website, they’ve put considerable effort into this program, pledging to become Carbon Neutral, promote recycling, reduce packaging, and to preserve the Viti Levu rainforest with their Fiji Water Foundation. Now when I do need to buy a bottle of Fiji water on the road, I just might feel a little less guilty!
