I am told I must wash my plastic and glass bottles and jars so that they are usable in the recycling plants but does the amount of water I must use to get them clean outweigh the benefits to the environment?
The Expert answers:

Also – rinsing does not need to be thorough, you dont need it to be sparkling.
