  • My city is nestled between a rain forrest and lots of natural springs. If we put our water through the normal cleaning process it would come out dirtier then it went it. We also have a few damned lakes we are having to release water from because we got so much damned rain this past winter.

    We have a flat rate we pay for water, sewage, recycling, and garbage pickup and are only charged more if we use a certain amount of water. Mostly just people who water their yard or have a personal pool have to pay the higher fee.












  • Tazo is a subbrand of Lipton which itself is a sub brand of Unilever. I was unable to find any English Breakfast on their website that the nutrition label stated it had 2 grams of protein. Every tea I saw had 0 listed.

    Pretty popular in the US, so I do drink them from time to time and they arent bad, but I dont advise to eat the leaves when you are done. The leaves are very highly processed, and they dont really care if other things get mixed into the tea peaves before processing.



  • Tea is made from plants. All plants have proteins. The parts of the plant that we eat may or may not be a good source of protein for humans.

    Practically all Chinese, Indian, and English teas are all made from the same species of plant, Camellia sinensis, simply known as a tea tree. If you were to eat the leaves they would be a good source of protein and fiber, not to mention vitamins and antioxidants. However, we discard the leaves with the fiber, and typical ways of preparing the leaves and the tea can decrease the protein and antioxidants. Its possible your brand flash freezes tthe leaves or uses some other method to try and preserve these nutrients. Ive seen some English teas that are powder you mix in instead of steeping, and this would work as well. In fact, tea leaves are absolutely edible! If you get a decent to high quality tea you can take your leaves after you make tea and throw them in a smoothie, soup, or even eggs and youll get the rest of the nutrients left in them and wont be thowing food in the bin.
