Did you know that plastic water bottles are one of the worst things you can buy?
They are horrible for the environment, and for our health because the toxins from the plastic leak into the water and then we drink it. These bottles are disposed of in landfills all around the world. "Did you know that plastics never actually 'decompose', they merely break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Being an inorganic material, it never will compost." If that wasn't enough, think about all that fossil fuel that is used to make and transport these bottles!!
BUT DON'T WORRY!!
The SOLUTION to this problem is EASY!!!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP BUYING PLASTIC BOTTLES AND YOU WILL SAVE MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT!!
You can buy stainless steel water bottles, or aluminum ones that you can reuse for years. By the way, do not be fooled by all these companies claims that they are doing good for the environment. This is why I thought this website was so interesting, because I had no idea these water bottle companies were telling so many lies to get us to buy their products.

Keep on passing on this important message, Dovannah!
ReplyDeleteBut, there is the other side of the story. "Spring water" MUST be from clean safe springs, and spring water will not contain the pathogens and other very harmful bacteria and chlorine (which erodes the kidneys) which city water can contain. I agree --- plastic is not good. But, we need to start manufacturing much better filters then. It's a no-win situation at this point.
