I would just like to note that when taking a functional glass bottle and using it for something else, i do not consider it a very ecological act. If the bottle is functional and it can be re-used, ie refilled, then if it is taken out of the bottle chain, another one will be created to fill it's gap.
THANK YOU! I actually meant to finish the post with a simple picture of Glass milk bottles to just insinuate how unnecessary all of that would be if we just stuck to the original idea of REUSING the bottles over and over again. But due to changes in perception and systems of doing business, we some how normalized insanity. Your commonsense comment was EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear. Thanks @patrickm
