Support Our Environment for the New Year
I have a few suggestions on how we all can support our environment in 2008.
Lets stop buying bottled water! The water that is in the bottle, which primarily comes from a tap somewhere, is mainly treated with reverse osmosis, so that the result is "dead water", which fish, for example, cannot survive. The bottling plants for bottled water use up the valuable water aquifers of the communities where they are located.
Moreover, the bottle itself is made from polycarbonate plastic which is in no way biodegradable, and when disposed, will be in our landfills for ages. Put tap water in your own water bottle if you need to carry water, and save our land fills!
Forgive me for suggesting it, but buying a water filter, particularly a maintenance free one, will rid your tap water of the EPA mandated chlorine taste and oder, and eliminate the need for replacement cartridges and bottle water.
Do these things and make a new years resolution to do more for our ever stressed environment.
