Doesn’t the shipping weight of the glass bottles cause so much extra gas to be used that it offsets any benefit of reusable bottles?

What type of plastic bottles, Mell? There are lots of things you can make, depending on the type.

I think it’s a great idea to have glass bottles. Being 64, I’ve live thru the milkman comming 2 times a week and leaving the milk in the hallway. You were on a first name basis with the guy that did the delivery. Some of those guys were humanitarians. If someone had little children and were hard up for coins, he would carry the bill to the next week or the next delivery.
Everyone had bottle brushes near the sink and that was part of doing the daily dishes, this was not a hardship.
