Of all the ways we destroy our environment, bottled water is probably the dumbest — and that is saying something. It doesn’t get us across town or across the world. It doesn’t heat or cool our homes.

It must have at least occurred to her at some point over the years she’s been working with this company, right?  So we can assume she’s thought about it — and dismissed it. Passed the buck to the poor people who suffer most from climate change. Cashed her big check. Drank her umpteen overpriced bottles of water that she’s no doubt contractually obligated to be photographed with. Recycled the bottles on occasion and decided her pretty ass was clean.

I’m just reading this whole thing and going “WHAT THE FUCK?” It’s is bottle water! It’s only bottled water! It’s only farming! It’s only packaging! It’s only cars! The issue with bottled water is not that it’s an effective way to DESTROY EVERYTHING, but that in countries where tap water is ACTUALLY FUCKING SAFE (I’M LOOKING AT YOU CANADA), we mass-produce plastic and fill it with water that is sometimes less filtered than tap water (hello, Dasani). Now, as for the ad. No, it’s not Jennifer Aniston’s fault. Whoever says that needs a good reality check. The thing with environment is that no issue exists on its own. With bottled water comes over-packaging, transportation, filtration that is not actually decent filtration, and making people pay for a basic right. So, to whoever says “we sould stop caring about that, kids are dying from AIDS in africa!”, fuck you and not so kindly. It is a rather localized issue: Yeah, bottled water is safer for you in (many!) countries and places where tap water isn’t drinkable; however the way things should be fixed is not by tons of bottled water; it is by installing decent filtration systems and by stopping to poison ever single water stream around us. Easier said than done, but it’s not by paying goddamn Naya that anything’s going to change. So yeah, it is only bottled water. But there are so many small habits pertaining to the environment that need to change, and it is not by dismissing one of them that we’re going to help. So yes, the original poster is overreacting. The people who reblog this with “I’m gonna by eight metric tons of bottled water to spite you” are…not better than those who say “I’m going to say -ist things because activists piss me off!”, sorry. Gross exaggeration, but the sentiment feels the same. One change at a time guys. OVERALL, I’m not for a complete ban on bottled water, because it is useful, we’re not always near a tap, and not all countries have functioning taps. However, buying bottled water in countries were you use drinkable water to wash your car instead of just filling a re-usable bottle with tap water strikes me as a habit to drop, and fast. It’s not the end of the world, but guys, one gesture at the time. SORRY FOR BY BIG SOAPBOX MOMENT BUT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TURN ME INTO A TL;DR RAMBLING MACHINE Sorry that it came off that I was dismissing the issue here.

I need to get something off my chest.

Of all the ways we destroy our environment, bottled water is probably the dumbest — and that is saying something.

It doesn’t get us across town or across the world. It doesn’t heat or cool our homes. It doesn’t keep the lights on in our schools and offices. It doesn’t do anything that tap water doesn’t do — except drain overtaxed resources and pollute the goddamn atmosphere.

She’s rich as fuck — although I get that that doesn’t matter. The very rich want more simply for the sake of having more. But shill for something else! Anything else!

She can’t be that clueless that she hasn’t even considered the moral consequences of this contract, right? It must have at least occurred to her at some point over the years she’s been working with this company, right? 

So we can assume she’s thought about it — and dismissed it. Passed the buck to the poor people who suffer most from climate change. Cashed her big check. Drank her umpteen overpriced bottles of water that she’s no doubt contractually obligated to be photographed with. Recycled the bottles on occasion and decided her pretty ass was clean.

Seriously.

No wonder Brad dumped your selfish ass.

PS: I realize this won’t show up on their Google Alert. So … SMART WATER. JENNIFER ANISTON. SMART WATER. JENNIFER ANISTON. SMART WATER. JENNIFER ANISTON.

Amen, sister. You need water on the go? It’s not that hard to carry an environmentally-safe, reusable water bottle with you.
