Promoting Pom Tea on campus by replicating the Pom Tea bottle with a plastic receptacle for college students to "trade in" their soda and water for a free Pom Tea and feel good about it.
This document compares bottled water to filtered fountain water across several criteria. A blind taste test with students found that many could not tell the difference between bottled and fountain water. Bottled water is less regulated and may contain contaminants while plastic bottles can leach chemicals like BPA. Producing and transporting bottled water uses far more resources and causes environmental damage compared to tap water. While bottled water costs about 500 times more per liter, it offers no benefits over filtered fountain water in terms of safety, taste or environmental impact. The document encourages using refillable bottles instead of purchasing bottled water.
This document proposes opening a zero waste grocery store that eliminates all packaging by offering products in bulk bins. Customers would fill their own containers. The store would focus on the 5 R's - refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, rot. It would offer classes on transitioning to a zero waste lifestyle and making homemade alternatives to packaged goods. The store would source locally to reduce emissions. It would start online and in-person, offering dried goods and produce while introducing more niche zero waste products over time.
Sheena's presentation discusses the health and environmental impacts of plastic water bottles. It notes that Bisphenol-A (BPA) and other toxic chemicals in plastic bottles can leach into water and cause health issues like cancer. Over 1,500 plastic water bottles end up as garbage every second, polluting the environment. The document recommends using reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic to avoid ingesting chemicals and reducing plastic waste.
This document argues that bottled water is wasteful and harmful. It notes that Americans spend $110 per year on bottled water, which is often just filtered tap water. Producing and transporting bottled water across long distances uses tremendous energy resources and pollutes the air. It takes three times as much water to produce a plastic water bottle than it contains. The document urges people to fill up reusable water bottles with tap water instead of continually buying new plastic bottled water.

The Babylonians made important achievements including constructing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, developing astronomy to use stars for timekeeping and calendars, dividing the hour into 60 minutes, and using place values in math. However, Babylon fell when its ruler Nabonidus was so unpopular that invading forces were welcomed by the people.
The Centennial ECO team installed water bottle filling stations at their school to reduce plastic water bottle consumption and encourage students to use reusable water bottles instead. They collected over 400 plastic water bottles in a single week, motivating their project. Research found that water bottle filling stations were an efficient way to provide an alternative to plastic water bottles. The stations are expected to save over 272,000 kg of CO2 emissions and educate students about the benefits of tap water versus plastic water bottles.
This document discusses the negative impacts of bottled water and provides arguments for drinking tap water instead. It notes that bottled water has few regulations, no expiry dates, and is not tested during storage like tap water. It is also a huge marketing industry but provides no actual health benefits over tap water. Producing bottled water has significant environmental impacts as over 2 million plastic bottles are used every 5 minutes in the US. While bottled water is very profitable for companies, it costs consumers far more per ounce than both gasoline and tap water. The document encourages supporting tap water by signing a petition and spreading awareness.
The students organized an awareness campaign about the harms of plastic usage in their town of Kurnool, India. They observed plastic clogging drains and causing flooding. Their campaign included: making cloth bags as alternatives, giving a presentation and rally at their school, singing an awareness song on the radio, distributing pamphlets, and encouraging others to use cloth bags. The principal noted the students' efforts have started to change behavior and reduce plastic use in the community with help from a local plastic ban.
Americans consume about 4 billion gallons of bottled water per year, equal to one 8-ounce bottle per person daily. However, bottled water has significant environmental costs to produce and transport the plastic bottles. It takes three to five times more water to produce a plastic water bottle than it contains, and the manufacturing process uses oil equivalent to fueling over 100,000 cars annually. Most bottled water is simply filtered local tap water, but plastic bottles may leach chemicals into the water when heated. Less than a quarter of plastic bottles are recycled, and the rest pile up as trash that takes over 1000 years to degrade.

Students at a school identified unsafe and dirty water bottles as a common problem. They conducted a survey and found many students using low quality, old, and unclean plastic bottles. The reasons for this included the bottles being cheap, and a lack of awareness by students and parents. The students then gave talks to their peers about the risks of reused mineral water bottles and dirty cheap bottles. They discussed diseases that could result and the need for certified, high quality bottles. The students organized an event called "Crash the Trash" to get rid of reused and low quality bottles.

1. One Student’s Junk Becomes POM
October 22, 2007
No one likes a give-away more than a college student, so when POM Wonderful, Los Angeles,
started showing up on campuses with a big plastic trash bin and a bunch of free samples,
the company was bound to draw some attention.
To promote its pomegranate iced tea, the brand offered an enticing bargain: throw away the junk
in exchange for something better. In this case: unhealthy drinks like soda for a healthy bottle of
pomegranate tea. Students deposited their “bad drink” containers in a 10-foot vinyl replica of a
POM Tea glass, and received both a free sample of POM Tea and a coupon to help them keep
making the healthy choice the next time they are at the cooler.
The tour touched down on the campuses of U.C. Berkeley, U.C. San Francisco, Brown University,
San Jose State University and New York University throughout September, handing out more
than 6,000 samples and recycling almost 6,500 bottles and cans in the process.
“We were suprised and pleased at how quickly these consumers responded, and how much energy
and brand recognition we received from this key college demographic,” said company rep Pam
Holmgren. “The vinyl replica of the POM Tea glass was a great attention-getter and attacted the
tudents to find out what the promotion was all about.” —E.N.
