The German-American Steuben Parade is held in New York City every third Saturday in September starting at noon, and runs along Fifth Avenue from 64th Street to 86th Street. For over 50 years, the parade has celebrated the German culture with crazy costumes, floats, music, and dance.
âsomeone discovered that cycling water bottles (or bidons) contained a toxic chemical called BPAâ. I donât think anybody needed to âdiscoverâ it.

Eighty percent of the water bottles we buy end up in landfills, the absolute worst place for them to be. That means roughly for every 10 bottles we drink, only two end up in the recycle bin.Our national recycle rate for PET's is only 23 percent, which means we throw 38 billion water bottles into landfills a year.es, me too -- I became one of those screwy people who bought bottled water by the case and yapped into his cellphone non-top (sometimes even when another person was on the line.). But the damage from the bottled water industry isn't just to our intelligence and our wallets; it's also to the world we live in.
