Turn any plastic bottle into a eco-watering can!
We’ve already mentioned the benefits of using a watering can around the house but today, we’ve got a tip for greening this already pretty green activity!
Behold the EcoSpout! The EcoSpout is a small spout kit that can turn almost any small plastic bottle or milk jug into a watering can. The system will fit most quart and gallon plastic containers. A new adapter will connect to snap-on and non-standard threaded jugs. Included are a small spray spout and thin stream pouring spout.
How does the EcoSpout green your plant watering can? This actually works on a couple different levels. First, the EcoSpout is supposedly made from recycled plastic according Greenfeet.com. Second, at least one of your used milk jugs gets a little longer lifespan and use before it ends up in a landfill to break down over thousands of years. Finally, by not purchasing a new complete watering can (plastic or otherwise), demand for new ones is reduced and new plastic or metal for your can is just not needed!
Where can you purchase an EcoSpout? You can buy an EcoSpout at your local greenhouse or online at Greenfeet.com or Plantea.com!
