Welcome to my world, where the glass is always half full and spirits are high. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff- it's just a minor thing. Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands good news will work its way to all them plans. Even if things end up a bit too heavy, we'll all float on. Things turn out best for the people who make the best of how things turn out.

Don't Drink Bottled Water!!
Yesterday we watched a documentary called Tapped. We learned that big companies like Coke, Pepsi, and Nestle are sending giant trucks into towns (the town we saw was in Maine) to pump out their lake water, even if that town is in a draught. And they do it for free without telling anyone! Then they put that water into plastic bottles that are made with cancerous materials and sell our water back to us in a "convenient" bottle for 1900x the price we can get tap water. Not only is 40% of bottled water actually tap water, but tap water is regulated more than bottled water! These big companies are not even required to test their bottled water. Tap water is tested about 400 times a day! Independent studies have tested bottled water and found that the plastic bottles made with PET or PETE leak out cancerous materials into the water. When left in the heat of a car or outside, the risk increases profoundly. This documentary also showed massive amounts of plastic waste buildup on beaches and how our oceans are turning into "Plastic Soup"! The Earth is 75% covered with water, but only 1% is drinkable. Only 1%! if these companies continue to take our water, then we will have no more drinkable water in the near future! Help save our Earth and your own health! Stop drinking bottled water! Drink purified tap water! It's healthier than bottled water and saves you money! Help save our environment now! ACT NOW! Recycle and buy a reusable water bottle! Tell your family and friends about the dangers of plastic bottles and bottled water!
