Right way to dispose of packing bubbles? https://houstonnewmedia.org/right-way-to-dispose-of-packing-bubbles/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=right-way-to-dispose-of-packing-bubbles Fri, 01 Jul 2022 20:24:46 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=fb039cf91cc1a0d89b3bf2532f392bd3

So, I've accumulate a lot of the packing bubbles from items shipped to me. Is there a recycling method for them? There's a lot of bulky light plastic, from bubble wrap to the bubbles. I hope Amazon will let us drop them off at Whole Foods for reuse. It's all pretty clean.

Paintball CO2 tank refill recommendations? https://houstonnewmedia.org/paintball-co2-tank-refill-recommendations/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=paintball-co2-tank-refill-recommendations Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:49:00 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=bf1161477b16d82acc36cfe3827ee440

Hi, folks,

I am looking into paintball CO2 tanks as an alternative to Sodastream canisters for carbonating water. Problem is finding a place that will refill them inexpensively, preferably near the inner loop area. Conventional Googling says that the sporting goods stores should refill them, but the big ones I've checked (Academy and Dick's) won't offer the service. Anyone else try? Or is there a better option? It isn't kegerator level stuff, just trying to have a regular supply of carbonated water without breaking the bank or wasting much plastic. Thanks for the help
