gulp

i still have the plague but as i'll be on vaca (huzzah! huzzah!) next week, i figured i'd leave you with an interesting article/blurbalurb i just read.

Fast Company reports:
Want to do something help stop the climate crisis? Stop buying bottled water. Last year Americans spent $15 billion "for a product we have always gotten, and can still get, for free, from taps in our homes." In the US we ship 1 billion bottles of the stuff around a week. That's "37,800 18-wheelers." And water is "so heavy you can't fill an 18-wheeler with [it] - you have to leave empty space. To top it off, US tap water is safer than the bottled stuff and 24 percent of what we buy is "tap water repackaged by Coke and Pepsi." What are we thinking?

24% of what we buy is tap water repackaged by Coke and Pepsi. I wonder if that can be legal, but i suppose, why not? it's not like it's false advertising. they never say "this has never been and can never be tap water."

The whole point of this article is about how we can stop global warming if we stop drinking bottled water cause those trucks are off the road. and maybe we should stop eating, or wearing clothes, cause i'm pretty sure planes and trucks have to deliver that stuff too.

so eff that - those sluts down south need to stop buying their quintuple hemi eat the world and vomit up pure carbon emissions pick ups. and every single kid that went to my high school needs to stop getting jeep grand cherokee's for their 16th birthday when their parents already drive an escalade. maybe we should focus on that for awhile.

also - why is there still global warming when every fucking flight gets canceled anyway?! i say this because i'm flying tomorrow -- prove me wrong us air. prove me wrong.
