Last week I looked at my overflowing recycling bin and thought to myself what's wrong with this picture?
The answer was too much plastic of which a good amount was bottled water.

How much money do I spent weekly/ monthly on the stuff. I could not tell?

That's why when I visited Green Thing, a British site sharing ways to be 'practically green' with a healthy dose of humor and saw their Do August’s Green Thing. Ask for Tap I had to share it.

Their toolbox includes music, videos and good prose.

Here are 5 ways Green Thing suggests to resist the call of the 'bottled water' salesman:

1. Your evil mineral water is clear but my conscience is clearer.
2. Tut the pap tit who raps tip top tap.
3. I’m a taposexual. I get a sexual thrill from turning taps on and off.
4. Watch what you say you mineral mo-fo – I’m Spanish and a bad tap ass.
5. Your water’s fabulous. Get it to me through a long copper pipe that finishes in a clever on-off valve, charge me 1000 times less for it and I’ll take some.

Who said being earth friendly had to be a chore?

Fun for Green Day #38

P.S: The above story was written in January 2007 so for Gas Unleaded it reads more like $3.85 in August 2008
