Well, if you're living in "Extreme Poverty", then you'll be earning around $2 a day.
If you're earning $2 a day, then paying $.2 more for bottled water in paper is probably going to be detrimental for you. Around 1 billion people live in extreme poverty.
So yes, there's alternatives for you and me, but not for a billion people.

- yareal 2y agoI'm aware. A glass bottle has a unit cost increase of approximately a penny per bottle (per CleanMetrics). But the bottle itself can be reused and recycled. Also, this assumes it's not in our best interest to subsidize this penny per bottle cost for our own health. Plastic trash ends up in our hydrocycle no matter where it is used. Also, reusable plastic aren't the problem either. A large, centrally fillable 5 gallon container is not likely to be used once and discarded. Are you really asserting that individual 12-40oz single use bottles of water are the best system we can imagine and what a million people use for daily water?
