Global warming is a big issue in the world today.
The reasonable way to help out in the solution would be to help the world by recycling, therefore not having to create as many plastic products. HOWEVER, melting down the plastics that were already made into your water bottle, to make another water bottle the exact same size and shape seems a bit redundant. And all that burning plastic does a number on the ozone (depending on whether or not you believe in global warming). So if the burning plastics are worse for the environment (global warming) than just letting them sit there, why do it?
The answer? Simple: companies make money off of it. They don't pay anything more than the fee of delivery because people willingly recycle their plastics. They melt the plastics down, make new products out of it, slap a label on it that says 100% recycled, knock the price up by double, and the whole cycle continues. They make way more money than you spend on the ridiculous things they put IN the bottles. All because they got the plastic for next to nothing, melted it down for next to nothing, made new bottles, and shipped them out with a "green label". I for one don't buy recycled stuff because it's just for the liberal tree hugging ****s who think that they are saving the environment single-handedly.
