Take Back the Filter

Beth over at Fake Plastic Fish gave me the heads up about a new campaign to get The Clorox Company, North American distributor of Brita water pitchers, to start a recycling program for the filters ala the one run by the original Brita makers in Europe. For more on the campaign, check out the Web site.
