BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters rinse out one fewer glass bottle before recycling it, we'll save enough water to run a dishwasher 139 times.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

The nickname limey for Britons comes from the fact that during the 1800s, British sailors were issued limes and other citrus fruits to prevent scurvy.

Need help getting the lime wedge out of your beer bottle?

The Bite

Don't bother - you can recycle it with the lime still inside. In fact, none of your recyclables need to be spotless, since most " contaminants " get cleaned out or burned away during remanufacturing. We'll drink to that.

 

The Benefits

 

Recycling's even easier. What will the waste management people think up next?

Cheers for less water waste. It takes about two glasses of water to clean out a glass jar; you'll save a lotta water by not rinsing your recyclables until they're spick-and-span.

 

Personally Speaking

Bite team member Hilary used to suck the limes out of her Corona bottles before recycling them until we researched this tip and set her straight.

 

Wanna Try?

 

Don't chuck a container full of moldy cream cheese into the bin - but you don't have to scrape and rinse it 'til it's totally clean either.
