Laundry is a Colorful Cleaning Affair
Some nice refreshing laundry detergent is just what's needed.
When the detergent comes in big, bright bottles like here, then it's even a more inviting experience.
Clean laundry, clean mind, clean mouth way to go! ;-)

Liquor Weapons
So passing by this liquor store in downtown Washington, D.C.
And I noticed these interesting liquor bottles in the shape of knifes and guns.
The knife was full of rum, and I am not certain, but I think the gun was filled with Vodka.
So in the age of gun control and other anti-violence movements, what is the messaging with these "bottles"?
Perhaps it's what many are looking for in stressful times, just a way to let their inhibitions go--a little bit.
The weapons image--macho, alpha male, interesting, cool...but safely--no harm, no foul. ;-)

A Bottle Revolution
How many of you feel sort of disgusting every time you take out the trash with bottles and containers?
According to Earth911, only 27% of plastic and 25% of glass ends up getting recycled, with the majority ending up instead in landfills.
This is one reason that I really like the new eco.bottles made by Ecologic, a sustainable (i.e. green) packaging company.
The containers are made of two parts:
- The inner plastic pouch that holds the liquid and snaps into the second part.
- The outer shell made of 100% recycled cardboard and newspaper (and in turn is 100% recycable again).
These containers result is a net 70% plastic reduction!
Yet, they have the same strength and functionality of plastic containers, with comparable results in drop, ship, and moisture tests.
And companies like, Seventh Generation, a leader in sustaibable cleaning, paper, and personal care products have signed on and is using eco.bottles, and they have seen sales increase 19% with it.
In a Bloomberg BusinessWeek (25 October 2012) article, the chief operating officer of The Winning Combination states: "The minute you look at it, you get it. This is a bottle that's good for the planet."
Like these eco.bottles, we need more of our decisions to be driven by what is good for us long-term, so this is not just a revolutionary green bottle, but perhaps a true sustainable evolution in our thinking and behaving all around.
