It's still pretty mysterious to me. I can't really grok statistical trends - I need stories of individuals and why they felt, for example, at some moment in time, paying a dollar for a bottle of water felt like a reasonable thing to do over just like, asking someone to fill a bottle they probably had in their car. It's not even the pollution stuff, it's more like, you've just paid for a free resource. Wat? Bottled soda is completely different because it's a resource that isn't anywhere close to free.
