Life In A Bottle


Life giving substance
Wrapped in plastic
 Discarded with out thought
In rivers and streams
Lakes,Oceans
Forests and ditches
Along sidewalks
Hills,valleys
Fields and streams
Tossed out of cars
They bounce along highways
Without a care
While some
Lay for decades
In the local landfill

  4. Humankind are pretty disgusting in their habits aren't they? With no thought for the environment or the likely impact on their children in years to come all driven by the consumption machine.

  5. I don't buy the plastic bottles of water as I carry several vacuum bottles with me. I wish people would not be so careless with the buying of water and other things in plastic as well.

  6. I agree, well said, Robert! Did you see the news about the plastic pollution that is washing up on the Galapagos Islands? I wish governments would take more action against pollution.

  7. Yes, disposable plastic might work? Yet, I was saved one day, a kind hiker left three bottles of water for me.
