I would conserve about a two liter bottle every week.
I would definitely save at least 50 cans, since we drink a lot of soda. I always feel guilty for not recycling especially because it is really hard to recycle in our area.
Probably about 45 :)

Hi Maureen! Have you announced the winner of this contest? Kevina nd I were talking about the SodaStream last night, as he’s FINALLY started to really enjoy carbonated water. It’ll be a huge help with his diabetes – we’re so eager to keep making progress… it’d be especailly awesome if we could reduce landfill space as well as our carbon footprint with something so easy as the SodaStream. We’re trying to save for one… it’s a slow process!
Being in environmentally conscientious city of Boulder, Colorado – I feel the more we can contribute to help reduce plastic or aluminimium wares, the better. The SodaStream machine is fantastic as it allows me to save over 100 cans or 30 plastic bottles a month just from personal consumption. Going green, using less sugar and being able to formulate your own soda recipe is not only being environmentally conscious but also being creative and resourceful. It also helps to create better healthier mindset by not drinking all the preservatives that are normally found in commercialized sodas. It’s nice to know that one has control and create your own soda and take a more proactive stance to one’s own health and lifestyle, and not be controlled by corporations.
Sincerely,
Wei Chyc
