I was sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop when I came across a Dasani water bottle the other day and it looked a little different compared to what i am used to seeing. There was a large green recycle leaf shape on the side of the label which was the first thing my eye was drown to (the signature label has been solely blue for forever). Then there some print under the new green symbol. I couldn’t see exactly what it said so I was going to wait until the guy threw out the bottle, but then I thought what is the fun in that. So shamelessly went up to the guy and asked if I could read his water bottle...what ever I’m over it. He kind of looked at me funny, I mean who wouldn’t be confused if a stranger asked you that...but he let me and now I can blog about it. thank you Starbucks man. Below the green water leaf thing said and I quote “30% less plastic 100% recyclable”.
If I was any normal person I might think ok good job way to make the planet fill up with 30% less of your plastic. But i’m not that normal when it comes to water, water conservation, and water bottles. First off the bottle itself was about 30% smaller than the normal Dasani water bottle so all the reduced plastic was taken out it the size. Secondly “plastic”= recyclable 100% of the time and it also equals landfills and garbage circle and eventually in our food chain.
It may seem like they are trying but it just does not do it for me and i will continue to never buy a plastic water bottle especially a coca cola product. SO nice try coca cola PLEASE TRY AGAIN!!!!
