carrying bottled water

source

Oh how I love Annie Leonard and her educational video series The Story of Stuff.  I just now caught this installment she did about the story behind bottled water.  If you’re concerned about the future of our planet, your own health, your bank account, or your future grandkids, you may want to watch this video.  It’s not long and it’s very easy to digest, so you have no excuses (especially if you’re reading this blog right now instead of working).

There! You’ve now been educated. So what are you gonna do?

My guess is that most of us who see this will still continue to buy bottled water out of convenience.  I’m certainly aware of the horrible consequences of this behavior, yet I have one sitting on my desk at work as we speak.  Yes, I’m guilty too, not at all preaching.  But I’m eager to make a change, and I hope you will too.  After all, the choices we make today will affect what kind of world our grandkids live in.  So let’s suck it up and make some positive changes for their sake.

Buy a reusable stainless steel water bottle now. Or maybe you like aluminum. Or even, BPA-free plastic (this is what I have). Where you get it and what kind you get doesn’t matter, but what does matter is this: REMEMBER TO TAKE IT WITH YOU. Everywhere you go!

By the way, I found a pretty entertaining site recently: www.pluckfastic.org
