Water bottles harm environment
Our generation is living in “The Green Age.” Seriously, take a look around you. Whether it’s the recycling bin against the wall, the kid sitting next to you in class with the environmentally-friendly notebook, products in stores labeled “energy efficient” or “made from recycled materials” or, my personal favorite, the reusable water bottle, we are constantly being encouraged to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. Green seems to be the new black in today’s world, and for good reason. We’re slowly but surely turning Earth into one huge landfill, and what kills me is that we have the option of decreasing our negative impact and, generally speaking, no one really cares.
I am so opposed to the concept of bottled water. It is unnecessary, harmful to the environment and, compared to tap water, expensive. So you think that a $1 bottle of water you just got out of the vending machine is cheap? You just paid 5 cents per ounce of water. The water that comes out of the sink in your dorm room, house or apartment costs less than 1 cent per gallon. Here’s a fun fact: you are only getting one twentieth of the water you could be drinking all for the convenience of little bottles that have a better than 80 percent chance of sitting in a landfill for the next thousand years.
