Many people have taken the challenge and are willing to commit themselves to restricting the number of Plastic Beverage Bottles they use in 2009.

Read what they have to say!

I rarely drink anything but water and coffee anyway. Oh well, I also drink beer, thankfully that comes in glass bottles.  I commit to using 0 plastic beverage bottles in 2009.

- Bill Day, Filmmaker

I can commit to using 104 plastic beverage bottles, just 2 per week. My plan is to toss them into my recycling container as usual, and just run a count each week.  Do you have something that will help me keep track of my bottles? (yes, we do download the Bottle Tally Sheet here.)

- Shantae Ann Jones, Biologist

I'll commit to using 30 plastic beverage bottles. The truth is I don't think that I really use more than 10 a year as it is.  I hardly ever use plastic bottles, so counting them is just a little more effort so I can see how many I actually use - I guess less than 10.

- George Weir, Quality Control Consultant

I need to really think about this. I don't use many as is - I never buy bottled water. I know I can commit to fewer than you pledged, but I need to think about how many I'll actually be able to pledge.

- Mandeep Gill, Astro-Physicist

What I can say is that I will start trying to re-purpose the juice bottles I use for the kids.  I like the idea of creating birdfeeders with them.

- Mae Marz, Singer, Artist and Mom
