First, I apologize for my my not so great attempts to keep posting regularly. Last week was a bit insane as family was visiting but I did bookmark an article from the NY Times that I wanted to comment on.
On June 30, an article ran about a new eco-friendly milk bottle that Walmart and Costco rolled out. This bottle is great because it eliminates plastic waste and the use of crates, drastically reduces the amount of water need to keep the cartons and crates clean. It also allows for the milk to be sold at a cheaper price while keeping it fresher longer.
However many consumers complain that it is more awkward and cumbersome, creating more spills especially for children.
You know what I say, suck it up. Pour your own children’s milk and look at the real benefits from this bottle. This design is new and sure, could probably use some tweaking but hopefully more companies will take the initiative to find solutions to growing environmental concerns.
Read the entire article here and see for yourself.
