Laurel 0 #1 March 24, 2006 Years ago, a friend of mine helped up-start this company and I finally found Biota water in a store near me. It is amazing because they make their plastic bottles out of corn, which biodegrades in a landfill in 80 days. I love buying things that are earth-friendly, so I wanted to share this with others that like doing the same......................................................................

Squeak 17 #2 March 24, 2006 That's great Laurel, but one question for you, what is the manufacturing process like. There are many "eco friendly" companies out there who have less than eco friendly production processes, and they almost ALL deliver product using BIG energy ineffcient Trucks Just somthing to think aboutYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel 0 #4 March 24, 2006 Good point. I remember Moby being so proud that he bought the most eco-friendly refridgerator and had it shipped over many continents to his house. I thought to myself, "ummm, how much fuel did those trucks and ships gobble up to save you $30.00 per year?" If you want more info on Biota, their website is www.biotaspringwater.com. They have an extensive Q&A page and tons of information about their processing, packaging, etc. edited to add: even if everything they do isn't eco-friendly, at least it is a start. I would love for Coca-Cola, Pepsi and the likes to start using corn-made plastic bottles. .....................................................................

MarkM 0 #5 March 24, 2006 I just like that they're making plastic products from corn instead of petrolium. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, a lot of companies now make these things. I have a Maytag refrigerator that uses less than 500 watt-hours a day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laurel 0 #8 March 24, 2006 QuoteSOOO keeeping things on the shelf for a while would nto be a good thing huh That is also an extremely good point. I thought that there might be some biodegrading going on if I left my bottle on the shelf, but it takes excessive, constant heat over a long period of time......................................................................
