Today in class we watched a movie called "Tapped" it focused on bottled water. As you watch you see just how wrong the whole process is flaud and corrupt. This movie had a big impact on me. The tows that they are getting the water from are suffering greatly. They are taking waaaaaay to much from one town. the people have no power over how much or what happens to the waste after. we use so much plastic for somthing we could be getting out of the sink. the annimal are suffering to! we have so little drinkable water that it saddens me the we are so willing to polute it just because we want a quick fix. most of our bottles end up in the ocean and in fish home. there is a hole part of the ocean where bottles replace the fish. People are getting sick because of all the toxins in the platic and caused while making the bottles. we need to cut this out NOW before its siply to late. most of the time they are just usinig the same tap water you can get in your home! now that this has been brought to my attention i feel compeled to tell my family to stop buy them and to just use the sink.

water, we use it everyday. we bathe in it, we drink it, and we  clean with it. its become such a normal part of my life that its to think of it as something that will always be there and something that everybody has access to. The fact is that many DONT and it may NOT always be here. i think it is important to  reserve all the water we can because water is so essential to life on earth. If the water ever runs out we and the planet will surly fall after it. we NEED it, plants NEED it, and animals NEED it. the only thing that even comes close in comparison when talking about  necessities is the sun. I know we can help ensure that water is here for our kids by making simple changes in our daily lives. We have to educate the public and show them what changes they can make. one way I know my family can help is cutting down the time it takes to shower. I take like 10 minutes max, my dad- 5 but my sister and dads girlfriend  take like 20-30 minutes. I know that we have leaky toilets and shower heads. We could fix theses to reduce our water bill and the amount of water we waste.
