Water Bottle Flipping
You are sitting in a room full of kids around your age. One of your friends flips a water bottle, it flies through the air. Will it land? No.The cap of the bottle wasn’t on thus water spilled everywhere even on the sandwich that you were just about to eat and on your new pair of jeans. All this mess just because someone wanted to flip a water bottle. You should not water bottle flip, it is wasteful, disruptive, and a complete waste of time.
Water bottle flipping is wasteful. Kids in our grade go through the lunch line and buy a water bottle or gatorade. Then they go to the trashcan and dump out most of the water which is super wasteful. Apparently you have to have the “perfect amount” of water in order for bottle flipping to work. There are children in Africa who would give anything to have a drink of water. Yet there are children who go to the trashcan and dump out most of their water bottle, not even being considerate of other or the environment. According to Ms. Kopeck, the very brilliant 6th grade English teacher, water bottle flipping is wasteful and puts more water bottles in the landfill than it should. Therefore you should stop water bottle flipping because of how wasteful it is.

BANG! BANG! The sound of a water bottle landing is very disruptive. The loud cheers and celebrations also add to the annoyance of others. If one of your friends at school is trying to work on something so it is not homework, do you think that you flipping a water bottle is helping them or hurting them? Would you appreciate someone making a lot of news when you are working hard on something.80% of the class said that water bottle flipping is very loud and it distracts them easily. Nonetheless people should stop bottle flipping because it is
another kid to take a drink of alcohol, and the kid doesn't want his friends to
because in some places in the world bottled water is their only choice and is what's best for them.
When kids by lunch for school or when they buy beverages, kids make the right choice by choosing bottled water. Imagine if kids didn’t have the chance to get bottled water because it was all banned. Kids will go after sugary and unhealthy beverage. That will make kids be obese, and the health care to treat the kids will be rising. Then the U.S obesity rate will rise and our economy will be destroyed. So, don’t ban bottle water, it plays an important role for us. Water is one of the most beneficial resources ever known. You can live without food for a few weeks, but if you don’t have water you can die within days. I think bottle water is better than tap. Bottle water saves lives, and if you ban bottled water why can’t people ban the sugary and unhealthy drinks. Bottle water skeptics might say that all the corruption between bottled water and tap water will be over if banning bottled water because they aren’t being recycled, and plastic is indestructible and that will lead the bottled water to create an even larger landfill. But these people don’t seem to realize that bottle water is a small part of the landfill and it’s not the bottles problem that it isn’t being recycled, it’s the people.
Commencement speeches are meant to be these happy and optimistic things that are supposed to motivate the listener, since they will be moving onto a new and important phase in their life. These speeches are not supposed to warn them about the horrors of freshman chemistry, or that their boss will have to lay them off because the company is suffering, or that when they realize their childhood is gone, they’ll want it back but will never be able to. “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace is a commencement speech that does exactly the opposite of all commencement speeches.
For ever water bottle made, non-renewable resources are wasted to produce an unnecessary luxury. For the bottled water Americans enjoy, seventeen million barrels of oil are used (excluding transportation), which could fuel more than 1.3 million cars for a year. Most water is imported and exported from places that are thousands of miles away, like Fiji. Although oil is controversial in nature, for every one liter of water produced, three liters are used; the excess water wasted can supply clean water to the world’s poorest countries. Moreover, the energy used in bottle production can supply energy to over 190,000 homes. The resources that can be replaced by ceasing the production of water bottles can solve many global problems faced by a growing population.
There's nothing like a sweet treat to end a delicious meal. It's always nice to have a perfect blend of sweet and savory in each meal. However, too many sweets can leave your health in disarray.

...eople in that moment would have thought that something was wrong with the drink. Especially in light of all the events that took place.
Promote social responsibility; recycle scrap water bottles and use recycled plastic in the production of our bottles
Have you ever wondered if buying a gatorade before a game is worth the price or would water just be fine? I have often wondered if getting a gatorade would be worth the money or if just getting water would be fine. I play sports almost every season and always have to decide wether to get a gatorade or just drink the water they gives. I am so think that what makes the gatorade worth buying, is it just for the taste or does it have something that actually helps. I believe that learning more about electrolytes and hydration would be useful to explain which drink would be for me as an athlete during a game.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which oversees the bottled-water industry, Americans drink more than eight billiongallons of bottled water each year. Most of that water is packaged in plastic bottles.The EPA estimates that plastics such as those used to make water bottles make up nearly 13 percent of our trash. An industry watchdog group reports that it takes nearly eighteen million barrels of oil to make the amount of plastic needed to meet Americans'thirst for bottled water. That's about the same amount of oil that a million vehicles use in one year. Oil is a nonrenewable resource—once it's gone, it's gone. Worse yet, the vehicles used to move bottled water from place to place release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Perhaps more alarming is that people recycle fewer than 20 percent of their empty bottles. Most emptybottles are tossed in the trash. From there, they end up in a landfill, where they cause further environmental damage.
Water is essential for humanity’s survival, and even though the world is largely covered by water, only a small percentage is only usable for human consumption. Approximately, on average, 120,000 gallons of water are used annually for a single-family household (Galbraith). This alarming number could be reduced dramatically for the efforts of water conserving and lower water bill prices for families and subsequently saving money that could be used for other expenses. Thus, conserving water would prove beneficial and advantageous to not just Texas, but for everyone else as well. Although environmental policies have been not as popular with Congress and the state legislature, it is still an important problem to consider since there are only a limited amount of resources for public use, such as water.
Water bottles are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics that don’t biodegrade, but they are completely recyclable. PETs photo degrade, they break down into smaller fragments over time. These fragments absorb all the toxins that pollute waterways, contaminate soil, and sicken animals (which are then consumed). The plastic trash also absorbs organic pollutants such as BPA. They take centuries to decompose while sitting in landfills, amounting to billions of environmentally poisonous time bombs.

Water scarcity is harmful to human life because when water is poorly managed throughout the world, those who need water are deprived of nutrients they truly need, causing them to die. This eventually affects the global population. Therefore, many experts have proposed several solutions such as the LifeSaver Bottle, TrojanUVPhox treatment system, and Waste Water Recycling. The problem of water scarcity has increasingly spread throughout the world as of yet, The UN reports that within the next half- century up to 7 billion people in 60 countries which is more than the whole present population will face water scarcity (Sawin “Water Scarcity could Overwhelm the Next Generation”). As well, the demand for freshwater has tripled over the past 50 years, and is continuing to rise as a result of population growth and economic development.
Water is one of the most essential non-renewable natural resources on the Earth. Technically, an un-hydrated human being can live no more than three days. In the United States, people consume water mainly from tap water and bottle water. However, the consumption between these two sources is not even but lean to one side heavily. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, people consume from 240 to over 10000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they usually do for tap water. (NRDC) In addition, according to a survey from US National Library of Medicines, only 17% of the participants prefer to drink tap water exclusively.(US National Library) Compared to the bottled water which is shining like a superstar, tap water is like a diligent worker in the shade, unpopular but useful. The extremely unbalance of bottled water consumption implies that a commonly hold conception exists: bottle water is superior to tap water. In fact, scientific evidence proves that tap water is nothing different than bottle water. More importantly, the excessive consumption of bottled water is an irrational use of resources and creates severe environmental issues.
