I just completed the extra-credit survey on bottled water. I certainly found this survey interesting in the fact that I don't find myself thinking much about the over priced plastic capsules that contain what is virtually free from a faucet. I don't actually find myself too far on either side of the argument of if bottled water is bad or not, but I do think it's important to at the very least recycle the bottles considering they don't decompose all to quickly. In fact, the average water bottle takes 500 to 1000 years to decompose, and if a plastic bottle is deep within a landfill with no air moving it won't decompose at all.
Aside from the fun facts, I'm very interested about what this survey is hoping to achieve. Certainly an interesting survey to take. Maybe I'll even land the 5 dollar Target gift-card!
