The Facts About Bottled Water

I have been avoiding bottled drinks and canned drinks for the past 2 years. I bring around my tap water/water cooler filled nalgene bottle(which look like it has been thru war). Even if i no choice got to get a bottle of green tea or 100 plus, i'll keep the bottle to recycle or reuse if my nalgene is left at home.

Please have a good look and understand the flow chart about bottled water.

Ah.... i was flipping the papers few days ago and someone wrote to the forums about the recycling machine at City Square NTUC.

That same day, i went to recycle 1 bottle with my colleagues. I was explaining to them that the machine will earn you 1point for every bottle/can recycled. The points can be collected and redeem for something(i don't know what it is at that point of time. Just collect the receipt points)

After i feed the bottle and out came the 'points', it came out in a form of paper receipt. For 1 point, i get a piece of paper that is slightly smaller than our ez-link card. For ONLY A POINT.
My colleagues and i were baffled by the "green" idea that they are trying to push...

I went to the movie's official website.

I was blown away.

The site's main page has a very beautiful blue sky and a delicious looking fatty cow that reminds me of the succulent tender thinly sliced shabu shabu beef that i crave for once in a while.


As i do a quick browse thru the site, issues on our food journey is scary.

In context to Singapore's lack of natural resources and land, how NEAR can we go to get our food?

I read a newspaper article a few weeks back on the fishes that we are eating. The sources of fishes that we are eating might be fully exploited or over-fished. Hey, fishes do run out.
