It is easy to recycle plastic bottles

As part of my purpose in raising consciousness, AQUAMANTRA is also under the umbrella backlash of people saying that Bottled Water is bad. Why is it bad? Well, among the thousands of reasons people are banning the beautiful elixir of life, the one that is prevelant in my perspective is recycling. The Bottle Water industry is $500B and going strong, regardless of what the press says. So instead of banning bottled water, why don't we just recylce our bottles? Californians RULE because they recycled 14.7 BILLION containers last year! Its the rest of the states I'm concerned about. How valuable is our planet? When will it be too much trash? Too much plastic on the ground? There are only 11 out of our 50 states that mandate refundable deposits for PET bottles. I'm only one person, and how could I possibly make a difference? Source told me to make a video. I tried to blow it off, because again what difference can I make, as the kids from the local high school continue to litter on my street and those beautiful streets of Dana Point. I got a strong nudge, that I needed to get a message out. I put a post on Craig's List, and a handful of amazing people responded to help me in this message.

I set out to do some research and called upon California's Department of Recycling and what I found out is beautiful and easy! Please be part of the solution and spread the word.

By visiting www.bottlesandcans.com you can learn all about recycling. You will learn that by recycling PET bottles, you can save enough energy to run a television for almost 3 hours (teenagers!) Another of my beefs with my city is that everywhere I go there's no recycling containers, the beach, the mall, the local Starbucks, the local Ralph's Supermarket, and I could seriously go on for a long time. There is a solution! You can order a FREE recycle kit from California's Department of Recycling, and set it up in any office or store or school. You can make a difference, by just talking to local stores and asking them to get involved.

As for my video, stay tuned. We'll get a message out soon. We're even having Regina Rene, an amazing Hip-Hop Extradordaire create lyrics for our video. Its going to be awesome. Thanks for caring!
