Do you drink bottled water?
What do you consider more unhealthy in the picture below: the plastic, the yellow liquid contained in it, or the water that was in it that was shipped around the world.
I wish I could convey how disgusting the plastic and shipped water are to me. I don’t want to touch urine, but the plastic and shipped water hurt people more. Bottled water is the cause of polluted water, not deliverance from it, just like gambling causes gamblers to lose, amphetamines cause users to have less energy. That is, dependence and addiction lead those who depend on something to live with less than what they get that jolt of, but the rest of the time crave.
Over three years ago I started collecting pictures of unfinished bottles of Fiji water, A new record for plastic water bottles: Disgusting and totally unnecessary. Pure pollution, no benefit. Fiji water is particularly repugnant for shipping water around the world. For someone to pay for what hurts others is tragic.
Yesterday I saw the Fiji bottle above. I can only conclude that it contains urine. Urine-filled bottles tend to be in the gutter just off the curb. This one is on the curb, but at the base of a parking meter. It looks like the pole is decayed, maybe from dogs urinating on it.
In any case, this bottle seems to show the true colors of people who use bottled water. As I wrote in the post I linked to above:
You never need to buy bottled water or any bottled beverage again.
I recommend thinking about this image any time you feel tempted to buy or drink bottled water, then don’t. I haven’t drunk bottled water for decades. Of all your human ancestors going back 300,000 years, at most only one or two ever drank from a plastic water bottle.
