On August 4th, 2021, as the nation wakes up hung over after National Block Party Night, a.k.a. Night Out, I walk outside into the still-balmy Seattle summer air to jump into my recycling bin. We only have one bin. Our neighbors somehow scored two, likely thanks to their financial contributions to various Political Action Committees or possibly leverage over the hyper-corrupt agency known as Seattle Public Utilities. But we don’t have their kind of clout or influence or room for a second bin which I won’t go into. Plus we drink lots of canned, carbonated water in an attempt to both lose weight, stay hydrated (hydration is key), and not drink beer (at least in my case) - which is why we considered a SodaStream© Sparkling Water Maker until we heard it produces less-than-satisfactory-sized bubbles, which just won’t due as we’re very specific when it comes the diameter of carbonated water bubbles. We have a tool to measure them and everything. Not that we’re high maintenance. But it does explain why we stick with the cans.
