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!
