The consumption of soda and water from plastic bottles is a growing global issue. Every minute, people in the world purchase one million plastic bottles. If all of the plastic bottles used in a year were lined up, they would stretch half-way to the sun. As individuals look around the world, they see an increasing number of plastic bottles. These bottles have piled on top of an isolated uninhabited island, landed on Arctic shores, and found their way into the fish people eat. Plastic bottles can be recycled, but recycling plants face two major problems. In the first place, people are not recycling all of their plastic bottles. Instead, many plastic bottles end up in the trash. Furthermore, people are buying and discarding plastic bottles at a rate that recycling plants cannot match. What can be done to stop the global plastic bottle crisis? People can recycle all of the plastic bottles that they buy. Even better, individuals can stop purchasing plastic bottles and use reusable bottles instead. Finally, companies that produce plastic bottles can use recycled plastic and invent a process to reuse plastic bottles. When everyone works together, the world can become a cleaner, healthier place.

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")

We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:
