Are Plastic Drink Bottles Needed?

What would happen if a law were passed outlawing plastic used for drinking bottles. You know, like Gatorade, Vitamin Water, not to mention all the bottled drinking water such as Desani or Deer Park.  Would your life be so terribly inconvenienced without these bottles?  Why were they invented in the first place?  Do a bit of research (i.e. “googling”) and find out what all goes into them as far as using up our natural resources that could be used for other (more important?) things?  How many of those bottles are disposed of each day?  What happens to them, since I would imagine only a small percentage are recycled?  Should the country institute a mandatory ban on these?  What are your thoughts – I want to read them on your blog!

  1. Hey Ms. Paisie.
    I’m just wondering if we have to answer ALL the questions that you asked in the post.

  2. No we don’t. I guess (hope) that Ms. Paisie liked my post, and I didn’t answer all of the questions.

  3. Justin’s right – on both counts: I liked his post (because he took it upon himself to find new information rather than just respond to mine) and you can write your own ideas ANYtime, not just answer questions. Those were just ‘food for thought.’
