I figure why not start this thing off with a bang.
I hate plastic water bottles. Really. I do. It feels so ungrateful to me to live in a country where tap water is clean and abundant to wastefully consume energy and resources to supply ourselves with bottled water. Huge companies are laughing at us…SUCKERS!!! Go ahead and pay for us to take a normal resource, add no value, consume energy then create waste that your children will live with. Sounds like logic to me. All I ask is that you think about it next time you grab a bottle of water. Ask yourself why. Is it absolutely necessary in this situation to use a plastic container that will only be used once? Where will this bottle go when I am done with it? Can I put a filter in the fridge if I want clean, cold water on hand? We need to start asking questions like these in regards to every decision we make.

Well said. Here’s an image of 2 million plastic bottles. The same number used in the US every 5 minutes…http://www.chrisjordan.com/images/current2/1178745781.jpg
