Eco-tip: Reusable glass bottles are gone, but alternatives have advantages
David Goldstein
Stan Wilson, of Ventura, recently wrote to me, “I don’t understand why we can’t just go back to reusable glass bottles. As a teenager I worked as a stock boy in a grocery store. I don’t remember there being any bottled water back then, but beer and sodas came in glass bottles that were delivered in wooden cases. When a shipment came in, the empty bottles, brought back by customers directly to the store, were put into the cases to be returned to the distributer in the same truck that delivered the full ones. The bottles were washed and refilled. The same thing with milk.”
