Creating Waves of Awareness
http://storyofbottledwater.org The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.
Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute.
The word is getting out. People have started to listen, possibly because they are feeling the ill effects over time. A few leaders can make a difference in many lives. For instance, massive numbers of plastic bottles are used where many people gather at large events. During the summer people are even more concerned about dehydration. One young person started a campaign to reduce the use of water bottles at their college graduation ceremony. Each year the effort will be refined until it makes the greatest difference.
The story can be found on Mount Holyoke News In an effort to reduce the sales of bottled water, the college will offer water stations and ask visitors to bring their own water containers. This will greatly reduce expense, waste and the use of plastics.
In addition, when the plastics sit out in hot cars or warm conditions more of the dioxins and other chemicals leach into the water, which will be a detriment to health.
This is a wonderful step in the right direction. People will learn to be prepared ahead of an event; learn about hydration and health especially in summer's heat; become aware of the chemicals and dangers of plastic bottles; realize they can take action steps toward improving costs, staying healthy, protecting the environment and all living things, plus be more cost efficient.
