Gone are the days of California being the only state that has “fruitcake” laws about saving energy, the environment, and saving us from ourselves. The rest of the country is starting to “go green.”
You see it on you-tube, cnn, cbs, and all over TV, radio, and in newspapers: The country is “going green.” No more wasting things, no more using electricity, solar panels, fuel saving cars, saving food, saving water, the list goes on and on. Now that consumers are becoming more and more aware, businesses are having to follow suit just to keep up. Consumers will no long buy from a business that is know to pollute or not be a “green” company. Probably the largest single example is in the bottled water industry. As we all know, bottled water has grown in popularity faster than anything else in our economy, and we are starting to see the bottle-waste now. City governments like New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Minneapolis are even banning bottled water from their cities. This is the beginning of a global trend away from the use of bottled water as a staple wherever you go. Consumers are now moving to filtered water, tap water, portable filter bottles, water bottle filters, and other water filters for their drinking water. Not only have we figured out that filtering your tap water is cheap, but it can taste great to.
