Disaster caused by Bottled Water

Wall-E is a beautiful movie. Beyond the animation, screenplay and music there is a hard reality. Earth might be uninhabitable some day. It might be filled with debris that would need robots like wall-e to clean up. Recently I received an email which explained the amount of debris that we are creating by use of plastic bottles. They could be as huge as a smallest country. Here is one such email that explains how plastic bottles and bottled water are ruining our lives.

* Carry Shopping bags that is made of fabric instead of using the plastic bags given at the store.

* If you have plastic bags at home try to reuse them in Trash cans etc this would save you dollars that is spent on buying Trash bags.

* Avoid buying or using plastic dishes/plates/glasses @ home. They might cost less but eventually they will ruin our health. Instead use ceramic or porcelain dishes, plates etc especially when you bake or reheat food in microwave.
