Brittanie Delorit 7/05/2019 1:32 PMOne way our Brazos River Country keepers are being green is by using empty gallon water jugs to make Gatorade. Instead of each buying individual bottles of Gatorade, we purchase Gatorade powder and pour it into large empty bottles that we can use over and over again when they are empty.
