Happy Earth Day!

Today is the celebration of Earth Day.  There are all sorts of activities and initiatives for Earth Day - you can read more about it on the Earth Day Network site.

A couple of years ago, our town passed a ban on single-serving water bottles at Town Meeting.  State approval was never obtained so it was basically a symbolic gesture.  Last year, the ban was proposed again and rejected, by a vote of 265 to 272.  Town Meeting - that great New England tradition starts tomorrow and, once again, there is a proposal to ban single-serving water bottles.

It will be interesting to see what happens this year.  There are good arguments on both sides and I am sure the debate will be lively.  We try to bring our own water in reusable bottles when we go out.  I used some vinyl to decorate the bottles two years ago.  They are still in use and going strong.

  

If  you'd like to see the details about making the water bottles, click on the photo of the bottle to go to the original post.  Vinyl is easy to work with and this would be a fun project to do with children - they can choose some favorite images for their personalized bottles.
