    I hope you make sure, each any every time, that the cap does not end up in the environment. Otherwise your flex is not what you think it is.

      I’m not who you replied to but I don’t think I’ve ever lost a bottle cap dude. I wasn’t even aware that’s issue.

      I always used to separate the bottles, and to save space, I’d squeeze the bottle as much as possible then put the cap on so it wouldn’t expand back out.

      I just thought everyone did that… I still don’t understand how the caps weren’t always thrown in with the bottles tbh.

        Separated caps are one of the greatest groups of plastic on Europe’s beaches and due to their size a pain to remove, much more than the bottles. Same goes for forests. I guess, peopke loitering also don’t care about putting caps back on.

        Also with properly disposed bottles it is far from the norm that everyone is doing it the way you are doing it (even though many do). In that case it is not such a big deal though as long as the caps end up in the trash as well.
