Upon recommendation of the folks at Green Is Sexy, I purchased a water bobble a while ago.
Now, $11.90 ($7.95 if you use the “NOT GUILTY” coupon code + tax/shipping/whatnot) might seem a little exorbitant for a few pieces of liquid-containing plastic, but I didn’t have a water bottle before and I didn’t want to be thirsty all the time and have to resort to buying Aquafina out of vending machines and the water bobble I got is just so cute and pink and the pink makes the cute even cuter and it has a filter and it really does make tap water taste better and run-on sentence and ambiguous pronouns like whoa and ahh!
No, but really, if you buy bottled water, or if you don’t like the taste of your tap water, you need a water bobble in your life. Stop killing plastic trees…err, I mean, stop polluting the air, overflowing landfills, contaminating water, destroying marine life, and feeding the pockets of petroleum companies. One small step for you, one giant leap for saving the earth. Or something like that. Baby steps.
Oh. Back to the water bobble. I advise you to get the magenta one. You can never go wrong with pink. Unless you’re a guy, in which case, I encourage you to get the black one.
And you should really read the tips on Green Is Sexy and implement them in your life. If you need any further persuasion, Rachel McAdams is one of the people behind the website! Speaking of Rachel McAdams, I’ve discovered that there are people out there who haven’t seen Mean Girls. If you’re one of those people, go see it or you might as well not exist. (Kidding! I still love you! No matter what! Smooches!)
Back on track. (Having my train of thought go elsewhere and getting back on track is a common theme in my life. Speaking of tracks, I’m reading Atlas Shrugged, which is fast becoming one of my favorite books even though I disliked railroad companies by default because I thought I despised corporations and people whose only goal is to chase money, but maybe not, but maybe that’s a topic for another time — oh god, I need to stop being so topic-ADD. I’m ending this long parenthetical comment. Yes, I felt the need to say that. Bahh make my brain stop!)
Back on track furrealz this time, yo. I really don’t mean to sound condescending (gah, I always worry about sounding condescending) with all these stop killing things! save the earth! woohoo! tips, because I am probably wrecking the environment as quickly and as mercilessly as any of you are, but if you need a reminder: The best way to reduce your negative impact on the earth is simply that — REDUCE. Before you buy something, ask yourself if you really need it (which is to say, if you don’t need a water bobble because you already have thirty million reusable water bottles lying around your house, don’t buy it) so you have less to throw away later. Yay for you, yay for your wallet, and yay for the earth!
