2010: People in the Western world live in a capitalist, consumer driven society where we have had instilled into us to put our needs before the needs of others (for the most-part). Therefore, is it really our fault that we don't necessarily consider the consequences associated with what we consume? I am not criticising anyone in this article, everyone needs to make a living and can do so as they please, as that would make me a hypocrite. However, the small- yet valid point that I am trying to make is that so often, we can make a difference to those who live without the luxuries we are so accustomed to, by doing so very little.
"One" bottled water is a brand, un-like Evian or Volvic that does not simply put your precious cash straight into their pockets. All the profit made through the sale of this bottled water is put into creating 'play-pumps' in Africa that generate healthy, safe, clean water for the villagers whilst the children play on it. Hereby, the community therefore benefits from a sustainable, near-by water supply that they are desperately in need of as over 1 billion people worldwide don't have access to clean water.
(And as it has been scientifically proven that there is no difference between the brands of bottled water, by simply opting to buy this bottle instead of one of the more well-known brands, you can help people without even realising.)
