Go up and down the aisles in your grocery store that sell juice. Notice how many of the juices are packaged and sold in plastic containers. Try not to buy juices that come in these plastic bottles.
I’ve taken a stand: I buy cranberry juice when it comes in a glass bottle. I go to a certain store in town to buy grape juice in a glass bottle instead of plastic.
Just try to avoid bringing to your house(and then throwing away) plastic battles and containers.
We’ve been told water in plastic bottles is not a good idea. I extend that thought to juices. Just watch how things are packaged and avoid plastics.

If I buy plastic bottles but then recycle them, what’s the harm?

You can also try making your own fruit smoothies! No packaging to worry about then. You don’t even need to add anything extra and they taste great! And if you’re on a bit of a health kick, add a few leafy greens and you will hardly taste them in the drink. All you need is a blender some water and cut up pieces of your favorite fruits and/or veggies.
