When I was a kid I lived in a little seaside village in Norfolk. One of my stand out memories is collecting Sea Glass (ground down glass pieces) with my mum. She would convert them in to pictures and all sorts.
I thought I would have look for some with my kids. I could find a single piece. Nothing but plastic every
where. Seems sad. The plastic will never go. The glas eventually just grinds down in to sand.

Bottled water has to be one of the biggest money making schemes ever! Work out what you use a day, a week, a year. You’ll be shocked. Only the bottle can be re-cycled (if they do) that’s a lot of lids that will last forever. Blacks water bottle is £6.99. This water bottle will have paid for itself in just 2 weeks. Then it’s FREE! Also \”last year 16 million gallons of oil were consumed to make plastic water bottles.\”
The water itself is certainly no better for you. Let’s face it - for the most part, water is water. H2O, no matter what type of fancy bottle you put it in or engage movie stars and models to extol it’s virtues. A report from the United Nations came to the conclusion that bottled water has no nutritional benefits over tap water in most countries.
For the most part, this bottled water is just filtered or distilled tap water.
