Keep Oregon Green
That mantra has been in the Northwest for some time.
Ward recently bought a Brita filter and wondered if its recyclable.
So, naturally, Ward looked it up on the all-knowing internet....google.
Supposedly, Ward could recycle a Brita filter in the UK, Ireland, France and Germany.
Ward, wrote to Brita USA to ask them about recycling Brita filters or shipping Brita filters internationally for recycling.
Brita USA's response is that due to ion-exchange with the water and the heavy metals that are pulled out of the water.....Brita filters can not be recyled. International Brita's website says all Brita components have been recyclable since 1992......1 in 4 germans return their filters for recycling.
Who should Ward believe?
(Naturally Ward wrote International Brita to ask them the same question)

Ward did get a clear response from Brita and a closing remark that Ward's only response to is "touche."
Brita USA and Brita "Rest of the World" are two separate entities (is Brita USA false advertising its German roots?).
Brita gmBH writes "It would not make ecologic sense to ship filters to Germany for recycling." Ward can see that......unless he puts the filters in a corked glass bottle on the ocean......
Hillarious. Brilliant arguments. A good read. I like Ward.
