Just some food for thought...


Yesterday I bought a Camelbak refillable water bottle.

I was thinking, how much money do Americans waste on bottled water?  Did you know that there is nothing special about bottled water?  It is literally the same as water from the tap.  

Not only would using a refillable water bottle save companies from using plastic, a material harmful to our environment that lazy people choose not to recycle anyways, but Americans could save millions of dollars that could be used somewhere where it is actually needed. 

I mean, how selfish can we be?  We have water, running water, available right at our fingertips anytime we need it.  And instead, we choose to buy that same water that we could have had for free, in a small bottle that is harmful to our environment.  

Maybe those millions of dollars could go somewhere that doesn't have running water.  I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
