Say no to plastic waste

An Australian town named Bundy did a deed that, I believe, marks the beginning of the actual practical anti-global-warming steps that the world's political leaders only talk about. It banned bottled water. Why? Here's why:

1. Bottled water causes unnecessary cost of plastic that is finally crushed & thrown to dirty the environment.
2. There are huge transportation costs associated with bottling & packaging.
3. A New South Wales study found that in 2006, the bottling & packaging industry was responsible for releasing 60,000 tonnes of gases blamed for global warming.
4. Cash savings by going for an alternative.

The alternative they adopted were public drinking fountains. Packaged water bottles in the shop shelves were replaced by reusable bottles which can be filled from fountains inside the town's shops or at water stations in the street.

The world needs more such campaigns rather than G-20 meetings where leaders can only talk. Now, other communities in the world should think of banning soft drink bottles which:

1. Harm health & soften the bones & teeth
2. Are bottled and canned, the environmental effects of which have already been mentioned.
3. Charge an enourmously ridiculous amount of our hard-earned money for what it's actually worth & which go to endorsing their brand, competing with other brands, & handing out huge pay-cheques to filmstars & celebrities

ENOUGH OF THINKING. ENOUGH OF MUSING. IT'S TIME TO REFLECT.
