Imani Chambliss
Imani’s project was focused on a very popular product- plastic water bottles! I chose hers because I was interested in learning more about this product. I am guilty of using plastic water bottles more than necessary, and so it was interesting to learn that this $1.20 product has an even greater cost to our health and the environment as a whole. From the production to the disposal of water bottles, there is so much damage that comes to each step. I was happy to learn about organizations that are fighting against the production of the water bottle and also smart steps I can take in order to reduce its production. This product made me realize how we as a society tend to be easily manipulated to keep buying unnecessary things despite knowing that they are affecting us. And since, water bottles are seen as a very convenient and disposable product we purchase them even more, but we have to find ways to reduce such habits, because, at the end of the day, they will be the death of us, literally!
