In efforts to cut down the use of bottled water, UVM's One Less Bottle Campaign is hanging around Central Campus.

UVM Eco-Reps are trying to figure out WHY we insist on bottled water. Taste? Purity? Convenience? According The Green Guide, in bottle production alone (not including transportation and whatnot) 1.5 million barrels of oil in one year to provide Americans for the 70 million bottles consumed daily. That also adds up to about 4 billion pounds of plastic, which takes over 1,000 years to biodegrade. Consuming 3 bottles of water per week adds up to $300 per year. That's enough for a pair of next season's Uggs that were stolen last season. So I guess they're right, but Poland Spring is so good.
