Stop the Insanity! Stop Drinking Bottled Water!!

It is hot! I looked at the temperature last night at midnight, and it was 100 degrees! I hope you are staying cool and well hydrated.

The next few posts will be a series on drinking bottled water or any beverage found in plastic bottles. The count, some say, is 2,000,000 plastic bottles being disposed of every 5 minutes. Others say it is 2.5 million every hour. Either way, that's insane!

It just don't go away. Did you know that every bit of plastic that has ever been produced is still around and will be around for 1000 years? Staggering to think about, isn't it. Think about the plastic that people use now and will be using on infinitum in the future. That includes the plastic water bottle you may be holding in your hand right now.

People tell us that that's not true. We shouldn't be concerned about it: People recycle. Well, Captain Charles Moore, who discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch just above the Hawaiian islands that is twice the size of Texas and getting bigger every year, had a great comment on that in the following video. A teacher once told him how much was recycled. "Diddly.squash," she said.

The truth is, less than 5% of our refuse may be recycled. That is the refuse which is deliberately discarded at recycle depositories like you probably do. But, how many other people do you know do that? And, interestingly, bottle caps are another story. Just watch the following video by Captain Charles Moore. It makes a strong statement. More posts on this subject will follow soon.

There is a logical, healthful answer to the problem, however. Visit our web site and see how you can very easily be a part of the solution to a very serious problem.

Have a great day
