Is so clear and i have known about you since my under graduate days of stanford when we were fighting for your 10year at stanford. I appreciate all you have done.

What i do in my office is we have pitchers of water thats provided to folks so that were not using more and more plastic and that we are being consistent in policies like this. This policy was strongly urged by our department of the environment and i would strongly urge support for it. And i guess the question this is considered a single use container then . Thats why im confused. I thought they keep on using it. So it would be the type of plastic container
