Water. We can't live without it, but have you ever actually thought about what kind of water you drink, and the effect it could be having on the environment? Every year, in the US alone, consumers spend over fifteen million dollars on bottled water. That's more than one billion plastic bottles every week. And despite the fact that plastic bottles are made from a totally recyclable chemical called PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), more than seventy per cent of the plastic bottles we use are just thrown away.

That's a total of seventy million plastic bottles every week. And the crazy thing is, in the US, as in most developed countries, there's hardly any difference between the water we drink in a plastic bottle with a designer label, and tap water! And tap water is a lot cheaper! What's wrong with us? Why do we spend fifteen million dollars a year on something we can get out of the tap?

Seriously, I have no idea. It may be good for the economy, but it certainly isn't good for the environment. But what if the tap water where you are isn't safe to drink? Invest in a water machine. Every canister of water can hold up to ten or eleven liters of water.

All you need do is to fill up a jug, put it in the fridge with a slice of lemon, and hey presto, you have iced water without any waste. Speaking of waste, when you do have things to recycle, make sure you know where the recycling depots near your home are, and also which materials can be recycled there: tin cans, plastics, paper, different colors of glass, and so on. Take all your recyclable garbage to the depot every week or month and you'll drastically reduce your waste. This is a lifestyle choice. People drink this water because it's fashionable and convenient.

Not because it's better than tap water. We need to change the way we think and the way we do things. We need to change our lifestyles. Reuse, recycle, don't throw perfectly good water bottles into the trash when you could simply fill them up again from the tap. If we don't do this, the future for our children might be something like this.
