are there any recycling facilities in Westmoreland or Hanover? I've seen so much trash all over the beach and river, it's so baffling to me! I was just having a conversation with Moose about this today! I'll be bringing my stainless steel water bottles with me, and my reusable straws. I'm glad that most places will happily fill reusable mugs... I'm not looking for "more for less" I just don't want to use the plastic cups and straws. I am considering purchasing stainless steel straws from a company called Norwex (as a no-pressure aside, if anyone is interested, my colleague is a rep for the company and can place an order for you). I have the colorful bubba brand straws, which I think are made from silicone... I'm not sure how ecologically responsible they are... but they are better than the plastic ones, I guess.

I was so disappointed in the MDW airport when the guy at Wendy's told me he couldn't fill my coffee mug because it wasn't sanitary. Understandable, I guess... so I asked him if he could pour it from the paper cup to my mug then reuse the paper cup... he said no, he couldn't. He'd just have to throw the cup away. Any Dunkin's I've been to will refill a mug for you. I wish more places were like that.

Anyway, that's a great price and a good choice for your community, Cap!!! I can't get enough of that H2O!!! Looks like you are getting ready for the April "Happenin' on the Hill"!!!
