A few years ago they did have a recycling program, and you could drop off your filters where ever you buy new ones. But they eventually stopped the program.....

I really hope they start up again.

I do not want to seem like a party pooper, here, but for most of us who live in metropolitan areas, why are we having to filter our water? Please help me understand why that is necessary? Isn't the water that comes from the tap ready to drink? I can't help but feel that this is another gimmick to get us to purchase more unnecessary "stuff". I will sign the petition, don't get me wrong, but I am at a loss in understanding the need for tap water filtration systems in the U.S. and Canada, when it is my understand that most of our tap water is safe and if there are additives or pollutant residuals in our water, is the Brita filtration system even powerful enough to rid the water of them?

Thanks for the tip! I've posted the link at my blog.
