The Story of Bottled Water
31st March, 2010 - Posted by carsi - 4 Comments
Check out this energetic and easy-to-understand animated video about how the use of bottled water came to be so widespread and why it’s so bad for the environment. It also discusses how crazy buying bottled water is when you can get water from the tap that’s just as good or better than the bottled kind for much, much cheaper (bottled water is 2,000 times more expensive than tap water). This video is put out by the same people who did the Story of Stuff, which is another video I highly recommend watching, but it’s a bit longer. That video tackles our consumer culture and its negative impacts. Both videos are engaging and really enlightening, chock full of information that even the most green-conscious person will find alarming.

This video was great! I really enjoyed Story of Stuff as well. Both were very enjoyable and made me think more about purchasing useless STUFF! (And what I do with it afterward)

That sounded like the opposite of what I meant to say, it made me think more about purchasing LESS useless stuff. ha ha
