My „Eco Challenge“ suggestion for today: If you want to drink something other than tap water,  try to buy „Mehrwegflaschen“ whenever possible. Best made out of glass, second best option reusable plastic-deposit bottles. Single-use deposit plastic bottles aren’t as good, as they need to be recycled – and as you can see on the picture, those bottles are collected in ….single-use plastic bags! (BTW: Do we know where the recycling of single-use plastic takes places? In Germany? In the EU? Or in Asia? This requires also a lot of energy and involves transport on huge vessels which emit dirty exhaust gases)

The real Mehrwegflaschen are collected in a metal container and then put back into the reusable boxes for bottles. They will be cleaned and refilled locally. Reusable bottles can be reused around 60 times!
