And my community doesnt recycle plastic at all, so I agree. However, glass is stronger and immenently more recyclable usually, so that does depend… Thanks!

Glass can be less recyclable than plastic in some places. Where I live, you can only recycle clear glass, not the brown that vitamins typically come in. However, I do recycle the #2 plastic bottles my vitamins come in (unless they become bath toys!). So, the glass/plastic issue should be a local decision too, I think. Also, because my vitamins are a powder that you mix with water they don’t contain any binders like some chewables or water like capsuls can, so I get more vitamin for the size of the bottle.

New Chapter vitamins ROCK! And the glass bottle is a good thing.

I too have become even more inspired by Beth, especially after her incredibly moving plea to Oprah. Thanks for the reminder about the vitamins. I just found out they carry them at my local store, which I can walk to, so double bonus!
