why is it that we always screw the lids back onto plastic bottles when they r empty ,locking away valuable 02?

Answer 1

Probably because when we drink from a bottle and we dont finish it we screw on the top so when we finish it we just screw the bottle cap because we are used to it.

Answer 2

Because they are never totally empty of liquid, so we put the lids back on to stop it getting out and making things wet. You are supposed to unscrew the lid when recycling the bottle, so I can't see this being a big problem for the enviroment :-/

Answer 3

I always put the lids back on empty bottles as i squash the o2 out of them, therefor taking up less room..

Answer 4

the fart gas could in all danger get away yet that's what you ought to do. get a funnel placed it on the plastic bottle then take a seat in a bath packed with water and fart. seize the bubbles interior the funnel. then supply the bottle to somebody and ask them to sniff it to work out if the water has long previous undesirable

Answer 5

its just a habit, my man. You unconsciously think that you can't sell the plastic bottles without the lids. Every single penny counts.

Answer 6

I squeeze all that precious air out to breathe and to make the bottle smaller to fit in the recycling

Answer 7

It is due to our habit as well as it becomes annoying to look for the little lid when it's lost! We also do it because they belong together!

Answer 8

because it would be pointless to hold the bottle and top in two hands. By screwing the cap on, you cut the work by 50%!

Answer 9

Do you know how annoying it is to look for the little lid when it's lost! We do it because they belong together!

Answer 10

You say ALWAYS - not so. We can only recycle the bottles, not the tops, so the bottle goes in the recycling bin and the top goes in the general rubbish.
