Paul's Web Space 2.1

Politics, Culture, Technology

Stories about cool events I've attended, musings about social media and other technology, and commentary about people, issues, ideas, whatever. I've had a web site since 1994, at my own domain since 1997, and switched it to blog format in 2005. Now, in 2008, I've added labels, shuffled things around a bit and fixed some style and UI quirks - hence 2.1. Watch for more widgets and microformats....

Blog Action Day Post - Kick the Bottled Water Habit

Hey everyone - it's Blog Action Day! Here's my environmental post for the day.

Simply click on the picture to the left and pledge to break the bottled water habit. It's easy and fun, and when you realize how much needless waste you're saving, you'll wonder why you didn't do it already. A lot of the time, you're simply buying filtered tap water. The amount of energy and other resources required to create and fill those little plastic bottles, and then truck all that water around, is truly staggering . Finally, all that extra plastic is going to be around a lot longer than you are.

So kick the habit...and blog for the environment today!
