Love the refillable water idea. Kudos to Pepsi for the sustainable policy initiatives, but it seems to me they are talking out of one side of their mouth, while selling environmentally irresponsible bottled water with the other side. Not so ethical.

I am waiting for my school to be one of the organizations that works with Terracycle with this venture since the open spots closed before I could register my school.
So, Pepsi open the gates for more recycling efforts and ditch the bottle water idea. Does the world need an eco-friendly plastic bottle? But more important the question is, is their water safer than tap?

Have you pitched it to them??

So, while we can argue about what is in Slurpees, at least my kids are doing it as green as possible – stainless steel bottles & stainless steel straws (or the Slurpee branded aluminum straws).
