I'd be interested in seeing how all this works in real life. Not the part about the milk spilling;) What I really mean, is I wonder at it's actual transport being such a great eco-friendly step. The milk crates themselves, for example, are never picked up at a separate time from the store so there is no extra trip involved. The truck just returns with empty crates at the end of the day which is a trip they're already making just to return the truck itself. I'm also wondering at the logistics of stacking gallons on top of gallons inside the back of a truck. I think that would get very chaotic very quickly. Don't get me wrong, I'm all down for this idea if it actually works as stated to help with mother earth.. I just wish I knew more of the details. Thanks for the heads up on this though. I hadn't even heard of this before now. I knew you were going to go there. I’d be interested in seeing how all this works in real life.
