Bottled Water! Of course I think it is not environmentally friendly. All those plastic bottles? Never could figure out why people can't drink the same water as I do. And the energy costs and transportation costs...
It has always made me cringe at the grocery store to see all those bottles waiting to go to the landfill. And then apathy sets in. I am just one little person. I can't change anything... That's why we elect governments - to do what one person can't do - sigh...
This article in todays Calgary Sun by columnist Michael Platt really made me think about all the things that go on behind my back or over my head. I was astounded at the statistics in this article showing how much is actually used by ordinary people! And we, the City of Calgary, have a contract to sell our water!
I have always had this naive idea that our elected officials have been looking after my welfare! Well, of course they have - they use our tax money to clean water to sell for a profit! Keeps my personal taxes down, right? So that should be good, right? Dear God, we need help - please. There has to be another way!
later man, jan
