Bottled water, an economic and ecological disaster

plastic-bottle-drinking-water-waste-icon

Bottled water is considered to be safe by most people, which is a popular myth. The amount of money and resources that are spend to bottle drinking water and transport it around the blob is huge. Studies have shown that with just a fraction of this money we can provide drinking water and sanitation to everyone on earth. At the same time we can reduce that strain that we exert on earth. Are we trying to stimulate the economy by producing more at the cost of our environment?

The gigantic vessel is much larger than an aircraft carrier, weighing 600,000 metric tons and measuring 1,574 feet long and 246 feet wide.

iconcloudships

A fleet of 1,900 unmanned ships, each weighing 300-ton, powered by the wind would criss-cross the oceans, sucking up sea water and spraying it from the top of tall funnels to create vast white clouds. These clouds would reflect a tiny proportion, between 1 and 2 per cent, of the sunlight that would otherwise warm the ocean.
