Woohoo! Fiance is willing to switch to “do-it-yourself” beverages and knock off the pop! So, our numbers from before (96-120 plastic bottles per month, 30-40 glass bottles per month, 100-150 cans per month (combination of pop, diet pop, sparkling water, and flavored carbonated water)) would be kept out of landfills and wherever else our local refuse hauling service deposits recylcables (we recently learned the ‘recycling program’ here is barely observed, so we’ve been hand-hauling our recyclables to a nearby town’s center). Anyway… we would be HUGE advocates of using a SodaStream!
I would save TONS of two liter bottles. My family drinks upwards of 15 bottles of seltzer water a WEEK!
we’re both following you on Twitter now, too!
Just picked up your RSS feed via my.Live!
Enjoying reading your Facebook page. Great to find so much positive energy in one place!
I would conserve about 50 cans! Thanks for the chance!

Seriously, too many to count! My fiance is a HUGE soda drinker.. this would be so great around our house.
I think I’d save 288 cans. I drink a lot of soda. I do recycle them though.
I would love to save myself the hassle of returning bottles and cans to the store and the cost of buying roughly four 12 packs per week to just make my soda at home. They have lots of nice normal flavors on their website too, I’d love to give the SodaStream a try! Thanks for the contest!
I am guessing it would be about 36 cans and 60 bottles per month.

We’ve stopped using bottled water, but because of extended family members and neighbors dropping by daily, we use about 4 dozen canned drinks.
It would be hard to guess accurately, but it would be a LOT. My husband and I live on soft drinks (sad, I know). But for a guess I’d say 48 cans and 8 2liter bottles. Thanks.
I think we’d save 80 cans and 20 bottles.
I follow you on Twitter.

I think I would save about 5 – 1- 2 liter bottles a month which is I guess less than most but still a lot I think!
I could probably conseve about 250 containers.
I’d say 6 cans, 2 bottles saved. But wait til I have a party! I like the MyWater Flavor Essences Lemon-Lime, Orange and Berry. Thanks for the contest.

We recently acquired some nice re-usable plastic water bottles, so we’ve stopped buying the 24-packs of 20-oz waters. We do, however, go through 6-8 gallons of purified water, so we’d save that. We’d probably also save about 6-8 single serving soda bottles, because we’d be making our own.
