The Story of bottled water
"One of the problems with trying to use less stuff is that sometimes we feel like we really need it. If you want a glass of water should you take it from the tap or should reach for a bottle of water that comes from the pristine rainforest of Fiji? In many ways bottled water is less regulated than tap. So who would prefer water that is less sustainable less tasty and way more expensive product?"
"It gives my dull hair the ultimate cool shine, how does it do that? ( ) turns out my Pantene contains chemicals linked to cancer. Now I find out my bathroom is a mine field of toxins? What are we supposed to do?"
"This is a story about a world obsessed with stuff. It's a story about a system in crisis. We're trashing the planet, we're trashing each other and we're not even having fun. The good thing is that when we start to understand the system we start to see lots of places to step in and turn these problems into solutions".
