Many a scribe has written about the evils of water bottles. A quick example: National Geographic Kids’ report saying that if you fill an empty water bottle up one-quarter of the way it’s representative of how much oil it took to produce the bottle.

In National Geographic’s April 2010 special issue, “Water, Our Thirsty World,” there’s actually a one-page energy-focused news story and photo showing a bunch of plastic bottles (with labels stripped off) lying flat on a makeshift “table” in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya.
