I have had a problem with bottled water for a long time for many of the reasons mentioned in this blog post and others. I found <a href="http://www.waterboys.biz/about-waterboys.html" rel="nofollow">this site</a> which makes a very interesting argument that tap water in SA is good but ultimately still not great for drinking. Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts about the solution propsed? I have been reading up a lot about water and doing research to try find out what the best way to go is.

Reducing ocean pollution is one of my 78 tips. Interesting video, I'd read about that flotilla of plastic ducks before. You might also like to check out <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/oceans/la-oceans-series,0,7842752.special">Altered Oceans</a> on the LA Times website, a five-part series on the crisis in the seas. And if you have any original green tips that you'd like to contribute to my list please drop me a line! :) Hi Juliana – thanks for the link. Reducing ocean pollution is one of my 78 tips.

A mass of trash that is just floating around in the ocean, it smells bad and is composed of a lot of plastic. Video and one or two links available over at <a href="http://www.afromusing.com/blog/2007/10/14/the-flow-of-flotsam/">my place</a> I am looking forward to the green tips and i will be sure to come back (I only thought you did design stuff) What is going to bake your noodle even more is the ‘garbage patch’ story.
