If there was ever one...... involving $16 billion, 18 hour plane rides,2116800 18-wheelers, $ 1 billion of plastics....so what is the 'message in a bottle'?
This gem of a statement from a Princeton academician in the article perfectly captures the irony of the whole concept "We're completely thoughtless about handing out $1 for this bottle of water, when there are virtually identical alternatives for free. It's a level of affluence that we just take for granted. What could you do? Put that dollar in a jar on the counter instead, carry a water bottle, and at the end of the month, send all the money to Oxfam or CARE and help someone who has real needs. "
