Could Aluminum Finally Kill the Plastic Bottle in America?

[QUOTE]Aluminum is emerging as a more sustainable option. Most plastic is discarded as waste, causing environmental and social damage of $2.2 trillion a year. But almost 50% of aluminum cans in the U.S. are recycled, compared with only 29% for plastic bottles.

Doubt it. Some believe that aluminum causes Alzheimer's.

I know someone who gets a cold sore when he drinks from an aluminum can. He has to use a straw.

I've always thought Coca-Cola tastes better in cans. I'm also keen on the mini cans of tonic water.

That was debunked long ago.

Aluminum doesn't cause Alzheimer's. It's herpes.

Your grandma was a whore, darlin'.

It does actually. It’s because they both start with al-

Similarly, plastic causes pleurisy.

I hope this happens.

I just learned that you should not crush cans before recycling, as it makes it more difficult for machines to sort.

Thanks for that, r9. Good to know. Won't be crushing them anymore. Thought I was helping by minimizing volume.
