Good for White Dog regarding the bottled water. The green aspect is nice, but I hate when waiters try to upsell me bottled water. I always feel like I have disappointed the waiters when I ask for tap water instead of the $8 fiji…
Why not switch to all tap beer too? I bet White dog throws away way more beer bottles than water bottles.

Well according to the White Dog’s web site they recycle all glass.
Recycling
White Dog recycles all glass, plastic, metal and paper through a cooperative recycling center in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania.

Yeah, but they used to recycle the water bottles too right?
Not using a bottle is still better than recycling.
