I just left a message on the Pur website and feel the only way to make an impact is gripe about it and barrage them with emails and letters. I too am saving my filters for the day when they get their act together. P & G owns them and won't like the negative press if it persists. Put it on Facebook too. Unfortunately, my experience when comparing filtration quality is that Pur is superior to Brita which is why I will persist with bugging them. I agree with all of the above.

I have the large gallon size system and like Gretchen's idea of using it without the filter for other beverages. I would be interested in participating in a recycle the campaign to PUR.

I was torn over having to buy two brands, but now I am just using Brita because PUR is by Proctor and Gamble and they unnecessarily conduct animal testing on their household products. Especially now that I know Brita recycles their filters, I will definately be going with them from now on.

You have to filter your water. I live in Detroit and our water reports scare the daylights out of me. Shame on our country for allowing the incredible influx of toxins of mind boggling enormity on a daily basis from corporations that have been allowed to poison us all to the point where the poor water companies are rendered inept forcing us all to refilter our water. It does indeed seem ironic and questionable that a company that is so concerned about our water being pure doesn't care about the trillions of these plastic filters appearing in the landfills across the world for the next hundred generations to figure out what in the world were we doing with this odd little objects. And so many. I think it would be a good idea to go to the Pur site and file a formal complaint and refuse to buy their products until they find the proper way to recycle. I am going there now.
