The Plastic Continent

[Chase]

Anyway...the biggest enemy in the war against synthetics is the plastic water bottle. Really, it's the biggest enemy in the war against logic. Why you would buy water that is less regulated than most city water is beyond me. In other words, there's nothing healthier about bottled water, and nothing is added to make it taste better, aside from maybe your mind playing tricks on you because you're paying for it. Whatever inconvenience that might come from avoiding bottles is probably worth it.

Actually, I beg to differ. Here, at least, the water system is pretty much rudimentary and not really working properly. Hell, I'm rather sensitive to water bacteria or viruses, so as soon as I drink tap water for more than a week, I come down with throat issues. My doctor told me I should drink bottled water.

I don't know how it is out there, but bottled water is necessary here.

To be honest, it's not that I don't care about the environment and such, and I try to do my best, and not litter, recycle if possible, etc, but this plastic continent thing just makes me go 'meh'. It's something bigger than just me, and unless there's some group getting together about it, I don't feel like I can make a difference, so I won't attempt properly. Why hasn't there been a group made, for that matter?
