Don’t Buy What They Are Selling [ Water ]
Thanks for your patronage. Article continues below: |
I just landed myself in a comfortable chair at a local coffee shop…
Just before I start sipping my hot dark roast black coffee I’d like to share a reflection with you.
On my way to the coffee shop I stopped by a coop and filled my 1gallon jug with water for 45 cents only.
At the coffee shop where I’m sitting now, they charge $1.45 for a 20 oz bottle of (tap) water. 20 oz is 1/6 a gallon. Six bottles of water would make a gallon, would cost me $8.70; this is 19 times the price of the coop water.
Buying this bottle of water is bad for four reasons:
- It is tap water
- It is in a plastic bottle
- It’s expensive
- It will lead to 1 plastic bottle in trash / or recycled
I am a believer in recycling, but I believe more in conserving before recycling. Before we recycle we should conserve, so buying a whole plastic bottle for just 20 oz of water is a lame choice.
I’m amazed at how tap water in a bottle is more expensive than 1gallon of triple filtered water.
It’s so true that people will sell you anything you’ll buy.
