Step 1: That poster says that bottled water costs $10 per gallon.

Step 2: DIRECTLY ****ING BENEATH THAT it says that 53 billion gallons are consumed annually which generates 61 billion dollars. (if you can't do that math it comes out to ~$1.15 per gallon)

Step 3: I no longer care about or trust what the rest of the poster says.


The goddamn recycling hippies need to get their propaganda in order. I say we tax plastic bottles to the point of them being prohibitively expensive to purchase in areas where the tap water is meeting standards.

My suggestion is to just have a common sense tax. If you do **** that doesn't make any ****ing sense we're going to take your money. Not all of it, just enough to fix whatever you ruined with your stupid ****.

Maybe that doesn't take into account the cost to bottle and ship? 61 billion profit? dunno.

That only kills living stuff, not contaminates, to be safe you should make your own
