    And for those people who don’t want to hack a BRITA cartridge to refill it, don’t you wish BRITA would design them to be refilled or recycled?

    Please join our “Take Back The Filter” campaign and sign on to our petition:

    http://www.takebackthefilter.org

    And please spread the word! We need to send a strong message to Clorox, the company that owns BRITA in the U.S. that we expect “green” companies to take responsibility for the waste they produce!

    Thanks!
