Drinking that cold refreshing juice is so good when you're thirsty. That cool, sweet liquid traversing from your dry cracked lips slowly, smoothly rejuvenates those gasping, minute cell-ends of your water-deprived body. We do that like a cycle. We thirst, we drink, we live. How about the bottle? Does it end there?


 

A six pack of water bottles wrapped in shrink wrap plastic

Water is used to quench our thirst. The plastic bottles, caps, and warping plastics are used to avail ourselves of water, especially in urban areas. Water is a recyclable resource. It is the same with plastic. Can we picture our world if water is not recyclable and we use it all up?


 

This empty bottle is crying for help. It is because of neglect and lack of respect to our environment that this bottle is murmuring for aid. It is a waste of our recyclable resources.
