Should personal size water bottles be banned?

by Brian Keller

Created on: June 20, 2009   Last Updated: June 25, 2009

Personalized water bottles should and should not be banned for different reasons. People like personal water bottles most often because, they are portable, and you can take them anywhere that you want. Some people disagree with this, because they say that personal water bottles are no longer necessary, because there are so many drinking fountains and other places that you can get water. It is much better for the earth, and as we all know, we need to take better care of our planet.

The problem is, many people do not want to give up their personal water bottles because they do not feel the need to stop, unless someone tells or shows them how much waste America makes with just these little water bottles. If anyone ever shows them how much these littlle water bottles pollute our planet, they will be absolutely shocked, and may feel like they have to do something about it.

So, if you want to make a difference in how this world works and functions, one of the many things that you can do is tell everyone you know about all the waste that we produce and tell them to tell their friends and always remember to think about where that bottleis going to go, when I am done with it?

If you think, in order to help save our planet, you have to stop using water bottles, that is not true! You can help this planet while still using a water bottle, some ways include: reuse your water bottles by washing them with soap and hot water just like other dishes, (by doing this, you help save our planet and can get a single water bottle to last up to 1 or 2 months), or use the aluminum ones that are at the store for very little money, (they will last you a long time and they are very good for the planet).

The things you can do to help our planet, do not just end there! if you are looking for any other way to get your friends involved, try giving aluminum water bottles to them as a gift for their birthday or any other special reason that you would like, even as just a random gift.

I hope that this article is very helpful to you and that you can walk away and know that you are helping to save the planet. Remember, even the smallest thing can make a huge difference! If you even want more ways to help save the planet, you can search the web, ask neighbors, and anything else that you can think of. One of the most important things to do to save our planet, is to tell everyone about all the garbage and trash that we throw out, and how they can help prevent this earth from getting even more full of pollution and trash!
