Hi!!! My name is Paulina!!
I live on Mexico City, one of the things that we buy a lot are water bottles, everyday we use a different one so imagine the trash we create during a year. I think the best option would be to start using reusable plastic bottles so we can wash it and it's perfect for reusing it. also another thing we spend a lot is paper, the main problem is that for creating it they cut trees, if we continue cutting trees for paper and new houses, there won't be a Forrest on the feature. We should take care of our world, and make the best effort to achieve our goals.

Hi, nice to meet you. I am Julie from China. I really like you idea bout using reusable plastic bottles. This phenomenon usually happens in Chian too. Too many water bottles as well as plastic bags are used by people, but not in a green way. Also doing some paper recycle is also important. I wonder if we could build some events to encourage people doing water bottles recycle action. It may change our situation about cutting too many trees and wasting so much plastic. For reaching the carbon green.

This is a great idea. It is also an easy way, and we all love easy. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, http://pacinst.org/publication/bottled- … ct-sheet/, " Americans bought a total of 31.2 billion liters of water in 2006, sold in bottles ranging from the 8-ounce aqua pods popular in school lunches to the multi-gallon bottles found in family refrigerators and office water coolers. Most of this water was sold in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, requiring nearly 900,000 tons of the plastic. PET is produced from fossil fuels – typically natural gas and petroleum." Reusable containers are a great solution. Teenagers use water bottles everyday for lunch. Teenagers these days are not paying attention to whether they put their bottles in a trash can or a recycling bin. Let's make it even easier and just use reusable containers.

This is really interesting because I have only ever used reusable water bottles. At my house, we have plenty reusable water bottles and whenever we go someplace we use them. At my school, we have water fountains specifically for filling up reusable water bottles. Growing up it was always made clear to me that a large percent of water bottles and, in general,  plastic ends up in our world's ocean. We were always taught about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is growing (when I first learned about it, it was about the size of Texas now I believe it has doubled in size.) Everywhere I go there are both recycling and garbage cans. I find it very interesting that this doesn't extend everywhere, like where you guys live. It would probably greatly decrease the amount of waste and plastic in our oceans if the amount of plastic was reduced or, like was said above, if there was a reusable plastic.
