Bottled Water
By: Maddy Vogel
You know those plastic water bottles you take everywhere. You take them to sports practice, activities, or just walking around outside the house. Those plastic bottles might be very convenient, you can just take one out of the fridge on your way out of the house. Have you ever thought about the impact water bottles are making on the environment? It might seem like nothing and also it might seem good because you think you will recycle after you’ re done. In reality the bottles are putting stress on environment and after a survey I took of my classmates, less than half of the water bottles they used were actually being recycled. In the long run bottled water is making the earth run out of all the resources we need to survive. We aren’ t sustaining the natural resources and that isn’ t so great.
Some water bottles being taken to a landfill. These were not recycled and will sit in landfills forever taking up space.
