  • Greenhouse: Bottled Water Is Evil (?)

      Remember back in the 1980s when suddenly, it seemed, everybody was lugging around a bottle of water ala Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally? Now, you can’t have a meeting, party or soccer game without those little individual bottles of water resting on ice or in the fridge.
