I' drinking Evian my third of the day. I make a strong point of recycling my pet
bottles. My bottle is a naive pet!

I'm drinking Pocari Sweat body water. I get through a lot a day because I love drinking.
Of course I recycle them. My pet is huge and valuable - I can't live without it.

I'm drinking a VERY posh bottle of French water. I drink about two a day. I don't always
recycle them, no, but I usually find something useful to do with them! The mind boggles!
What type of pet is my bottle? I hate domesticated animals generally and I'm not at all
witty - I'd have to say a goldfish.

It's thirsty work living in Tokyo; you've gotta have a lot of bottle to handle it. That's
where pets comes in - pet bottles, that is. Tokyoites are rarely without a bottled
beverage to help them handle the humid hell of summer. So before we all cool down too
much, we ask: What are you drinking and how many pets do you get through a day? What's
more, civic citizens, do you recycle your bottles like good Tokyoites should? And exactly
what type of pet is your bottle anyway?

This is a bottle of oolong tea. It's NASTY! I get through about seven bottled drinks a day
- seriously. Of course I recycle. What type of pet is my bottle? Plastic.

I'm drinking afternoon tea. On average I drink about two pet bottles a day. Do I recycle
them? Yes I do! My bottle is a macho pet.
