No more bottled water....
A universal accessory, the water bottle will soon be a thing of the past here in australia.... Councils are planning to ban the plastic bottles from their respective suburbs because of the damages it can cause to our environment.... Recent survey reveals that the bottled water is increasing around 10% per year as well as the improper disposal of the plastic bottles.... The government is worried that if the problem is not tackled sooner, at some point in time it can escalate to an irreversible level at mahihirapan na silang ayusin pa ito....
There's nothing wrong with drinking tap water naman sa palagay ko.... Kailangan lang siguro nilang maglagay ng madami pang taps o gripo lalo na sa mga public places kung saan madaming mangangailangan ng drinking water like parks, department stores, movie houses, schools, church, beach (may tubig na rin dun kaya lang maalat he-he....!) sidewalks, etc.... The thing is, mahirap talagang baguhin ang isang kulturang nakasanayan na natin ng mahabang panahon kaya sa tingin ko ay hindi ito madaling gawin....
Lalong-lalo na kapag hindi ka sanay na uminom straight from the taps.... Pwede ka rin namang magdala ng sarili mong water purifiers and filters just in case na hindi mo na kayang umabot pa ng bahay mo at talagang inum na inom ka na....! Nowadays Portable Water Alkalizer, purifying containers and filtered containers whatever you call those are already in different shapes and sizes, of course mukha pa rin itong drinking containers at hindi hugis papaya o palayok....!
Nakakatawa lang isipin na in the future ay hindi lang toilets, ATM machines, movie houses, terminal ng bus ang pinipilahan kundi pati na rin ang mga gripo ng tubig....! Sa pinas siguro ay ordinaryong tanawin lang to dahil sa kondisyon ng pamumuhay natin dyan, pero sa isang maunlad na bansa na kagaya dito sa downunder ay medyo nakakatawa nga tong tingnan....!
In some parts of the world particularly in africa where water is so scarce, people will drink just anything liquid regardless of the quality and its source just to survive for at least another day.... Sometimes they've even shared a muddy pool with their horses and cattles para maka-inom lang ng tubig....
Mapalad pa nga sila dito na kahit magmumukha lang silang nakiki-share ng tubig dun sa mga ibon sa park in the future, ay at least malinaw at malinis naman ito.... E ano ngayon kung habang kasalukuyan kang sarap na sarap dun sa pag-inom ng refreshing na tubig galing dun sa bird-bath basin sa may park ay nagtatampisaw naman si ibong pipit at ang boypren nya dun sa harap....! Ayaw mo pa nun, may malamig na tubig ka na, may libreng entertainment ka pa ha-ha....! =D
