Honestly if I was debating whether or not I should move their or another city I would choose the other. Getting rid of bottle water might hurt this cities economy.William Alfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313419815881055860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-34461010672135654082010-05-20T16:41:46.017-05:002010-05-20T16:41:46.017-05:00I believe that Ms. Hill's intentions are good,...I believe that Ms. Hill's intentions are good, and who wouldn't want to see a cleaner environment, but this just isn't the problem. The argument can be traced back to the statement that gun's don't kill people, people kill people. The same applies here, water bottles don't pollute the environment, people do. Their are many of us who do take recycling seriously, and do impact the world in a positive fashion(at least pollution wise). However the majority of the world still has not gotten on board with the idea of recycling. Brands like Sun Chips have had to make bio-degradable bags that disintegrate after 3 months of being pollution on the side of a freeway. This shows that people do care, there just aren't enough of us at their yet. Their isn't a perfect idea in this world, because the world isn't perfect, so I commend Ms. Hill on her aspirations. The problem is that there are to many substitute beverages out there, and this will have an inverted effect on health in this city. Now people will be drinking more soda and alcohol, because it is more readily available, this will cause obesity, and eventually in the long run lead to more money being spent going to the hospital. Once again, this is a great idea, but the effects just aren't worth the cause. I would like to see what sparks from this, something where all bottles are made with the same materials the sun chips are made of, or something in those regards.socalspencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705601234669168141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-5747196061022341542010-05-10T04:19:20.602-05:002010-05-10T04:19:20.602-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
