Brita Pitcher Filter Cartridges Are Now Recyclable, or, The Good Guys Win One

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, come out tonight and support blogger Beth Terry of Fake Plastic Fish as she presents over 600 Brita plastic pitcher filter cartridges to Brita/Clorox for recycling.

Where: Whole Foods Market in Oakland, 230 Bay Place Oakland, Calif. 94612

When: Friday, January 30, 2009 at 8 a.m.
To see the whole story, go to Green Talk.
Congratulations Beth and the rest of the Take Back the Filter crew!
NOTE: Beth says: "I'd love to encourage your readers to check the list of participating Whole Foods stores and find out if their local store is on it. If not, please call the store manager and request that Preserve's Gimme5 collection box be provided. Participation in the recycling program for #5 plastics (which, in addition to Brita filters, includes yogurt tubs, Rx bottles, and all Preserve products) is up to each store manager." OK activists, it's up to YOU!

    Thanks, Alline. I'd love to encourage your readers to check the list of participating Whole Foods stores and find out if their local store is on it. If not, please call the store manager and request that Preserve's Gimme5 collection box be provided. Participation in the recycling program for #5 plastics (which, in addition to Brita filters, includes yogurt tubs, Rx bottles, and all Preserve products) is up to each store manager.
