    Kill everyone else. One person can't do that much damage by himself, can they?

    where do you think bottled water comes from, honey?

    It's just a bigger tap further away that you can't see!

    In some places, tap water just isn't fit to drink.

    Rye most likely does not live in one of those places. :P

    Rye's college has tap water issues. Normally I don't approve of bottled water, because it's just water from farther away, and the bottles are horrible to look at on the sides of roads because people like to litter. However, in her case, it's a necessity.

    I lurv how trendy saving the planet has become, all these girls with the "MY BAG IS NOT PLASTIC" bag and what have you. Big deal, you're driving your mom's hummer still, bitch~ I liked being environmentally friendly before it was cool and still had a green mullet



    Basically I'm already a pretty green person. I only travel by public transit, and recycle, I use my green bin, I try and reduce my waste output as much as possible, I turn lights off (I don't have any on right now, actually, natural light ftw) ... but on the other hand I'm pretty bad for smoking (bad emissions D and for leaving taps running when they don't need to be. Oh well~

    I have a better idea to save the planet. Instead of all that crap, we just let every man get a vivasection.

    I mean, nobody dies, we just live until we are done. It doesn't even have to be a sad time, I mean, we can use up everything. xD

    And the last person.. well, turns off the light. xD

    Get a big[or several] one gallon jug and take it to your local supermarket to get it refilled.

    I go home every second week-end so I just get mom to fill them up for me

    If you have to drive, get a fuel efficient car. Mine gets 34/46 mpg city/highway, and I sometimes wonder if I should've got a slightly more expensive car just to save more on gas (I can get up to 50 mpg highway if I had a mini or something), but ultimately we have a preference limit on function over style. Oh well.

    Once they make cars like this affordable, it will be a fun world to be in. I'm hoping my 2nd car will either be a motorcycle (fuel efficient) or an electric car.

    Eat organic or at least buy from local markets. Better for you and for the rest of the world.

    And don't give me that skullskullskullskullskullskullskullskull about how you have no local market. Yes you do, you just don't know where it is.

    Next step - organic and homemade personal products. I'm pretty close to just making my own shampoo because I rule and you guys suck.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Organic foods are unnecessarily expensive.

    Default Water rantttt! Water worldddd!

    Actually, the water is clean now! No more poo water, Justin, yay! It's nice to not shower poo water anymore, but I do miss my college giving out giant liter Aquafina's because of the contamination. Mmmm! My favorite kind of water. Nestle bottled is inferior, and it's the kind the store closest to me sells. :[ But my Mom brought up crates and crates of Aquafina though, so I'm well happy.

    As for the why, I simply just don't drink tap water because it tastes wrong, the majority of the time.

    Bottled water tastes right, esp. Aquafina. Poland Spring as well. The best kind of bottled is Smart Water.



    It's well worth the extra cost, it's the best tasting water ever. And yes, brands of water all have different tastes! I won't drink water that tastes wrong. I used to drink tap water when I lived in NYC, because the reservoirs are much cleaner and it tastes good. Water on Long Island tastes like icky doo doo, as does Rhode Island tap water, so when I moved to Long Island when I was a kid, my family decided we would only drink bottled water, so I've only drank bottled water for the majority of my life!

    The best way to describe how most tap water tastes to me is the adjective "heavy." It doesn't taste quite right.

    I try to be environmentally considerate, but I need bottled water. That's something I don't budge on. I'd like to just drink tap, especially since buying crates of bottled water is money consuming in college, but my taste buds just don't agree! I use tap water for brushing my teeth, washing dishes, and easy mac (though I actually use it for the later anymore because I'm still poop water paranoid.)

    Turn your lights and TV off when you leave the room, plz.
