Over the past few days I've been collecting water bottles to recycle. I've been collecting the water bottles that haven't reached the recycling bin. Never have I ever collected this many bottles!! I now realize how easily water bottles can be forgotten and easily thrown in the trash. While driving to school I always see water bottles thrown on the ground and I wonder where they might end up, either in landfills or in the oceans, polluting the environment. Though I don't understand why companies don't just discontinue making plastic water bottles and make reusable ones. Or at least make a better system for water bottles by enforcing it more, most people either don't see the point or just dont care. If recycling became as important as waiting at a red light then more people would recyle and the world would be a better place. Also if people wanted to get rid of the use of water bottles then they should have more water fountains around the community. Water fountains should be enforced like hand sanitizer, hand sanitizer is everywhere, in the malls, hospitals, schools, and most public places, therefore water fountains should be easily accessible.
