Flow Presentation

Many people today purchase bottled water. All over this country, and others, millions of bottles are bought. Unfortunately, many people dispose of these bottles even if there is still a lot of liquid left. This all adds up, and there is tons of water wasted that was once clean drinking water. This is not the only problem with disposable water bottles. They are made out of plastic, and almost everyone knows that they can be recycled. Yet most people just throw their bottles away with regular trash. This is extremely wasteful – all of these bottles could be reused to make other plastic products. The solution, ideally, would be to always recycle and finish your drinks. However, this being the world that we live in, that would not happen. Too many people have too little initiative to help the world. The ultimate solution is to stop buying bottled water. This would save plastic, which means it would save petroleum – the fossil fuel we so much depend on. It would also save water, which is something that we will soon need to start doing more, because of the growing population. To learn more about how the bottled water industry is hurting communities, come to our film screening of FLOW on Wednesday, January 14th at 5:30 in the Scituate High School Auditorium.
