Default Hmmm....

Ok here is the deal, some glass and household cleaners now come in an empty spray bottle. They come with a little 1 ounce plastic container attached to them that holds the chemical "active agent" so what you do is pour the agent into the empty bottle and add water and voila windex.

Part of the green movement, now here is the think part. You used to get the bottle full with a paper label stuck to it. Now you get the bottle unfilled w/another little bottle attached to it via a shrunk wrap label around the 2 bottles. So what is better for the environment. 2 plastic bottles and a piece of shrink wrap that wont ever degrade or one bottle with a paper label but its full so its cost more in transportaion as it takes more gas to truck the weight of the water.

And get this they cost a little more to purchase than the original ones filled and mixed already


Hmmmm.................

i agree they should be cheaper - but then again it's the same with all these new extra concentrated laundry detergents.

Plus the price of EVERYTHING is going up

I have not seen this yet, but after you buy the combo bottles, can you just buy the little concentrate refills?

I think you have too much time on your hands to think.
