Blog action day: water

Why the "Water" theme for Blog Action day 2010?



Bottled Water: Even though people in the US have access to clean water from their taps, they drink an average of 200 bottles of water per person each year. Over 17 million barrels of oil are needed to manufacture those water bottles, 86 percent of which will never be recycled.

Here in Denmark, I have stop using bottled water and bought a "Drikkedunk" for a while now. You can find them in a lot of shops, including pharmacies, and they come in different colours. The plastic they use is free for toxic elements, of course probably not all of them, but at least I don't feel responsible for creating hundred of kilos of extra trash every year.


  1. I don't like drinking from bottled water either and I brought my own version of reusable bottles from Canada.

  2. I feel much better since I started paying attention to waste of natural ressources and how easy it can be to do something about it.
