Think your plastic is being recycled? Think again. (link added)

9. My 84 year old mother...........

lives with me. She has to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day (medications & medical need) for this. I live in a high-rise with terrible tasting water. I would gladly put a filter onto my kitchen faucet, but I know my mother due to mobility issues will not trek into the kitchen for water, therefore not drinking as much as she should. Therefore, I unfortunately buy bottled water.

I have looked at buying a water cooler, but the cost for that is more than what I pay for water by the case. We of course do recycle, down the hall to the recycling bin. But until I can come up with an alternative for my mom, I am where I am.
