Primo Water - Episode 3: Consumption

consume less

Okay... ANY PLASTIC Bottled water is EVIL!

It still uses energy to make them.

Environmentally Conscious?

Get a stainless-steel water bottle and REFILL!

[Hydrophile44]

I don't know if stainless steel is more readily biodegradable than plastic made from plants, bu if your argument is merely about energy usage, then you've already contradicted yourself, since stainless bottles also require energy to make them. Perhaps even more energy than plant-plastic water bottles.

[erichau728]

I'm saying they still use energy... and it's merely a comment not an argument...

Saying 1 bottle still requires energy, because it's so convenient it's still going to landfills after it's consumed...

Steel you get to use it for years, as to a person that uses bottled water everyday... Usually ppl buys one of these bottles because they want to just refill and reuse. And if they don't want it they know they can just recycle it...

[Hydrophile44]

I was using the word "argument" in a general sense, as in, "a line of thought" or "a point of view." I didn't mean to imply that you were being mean or offensive or rude or combative or anything like that, because you weren't doing any of those things. However, you seem to be of the "point of view" that steel bottles are more eco-friendly than corn-bottles, and I'm just not share I entirely agree with that idea. That's all.

[erichau728]

Using corn like this and growing them at a much quicker than they're supposed to makes them taste like shit and ruins their genetics from using a lot of fertilizer... The land would get exhausted...

[Hydrophile44]

I think I see what you're saying. Regular, oil-based bottles, plant-based bottles & stainless steel bottles ALL require energy to be made. I think we both can agree on that. But I don't think the corn grown to make bottles is ever meant to be eaten, and I still say a plant-based bottle will probably bio-degrade faster than stainless steel. As for recycling, that's a different story altogether.

[erichau728]

Corn just doesn't taste as good as it did a couple years back :(; idk, somehow the idea of mass producing for factory somehow the nitrogen will runoff somewhere and affect somewhere else.

But then again, bottled water will never be eliminated but it is a better alternative if people HAVE to buy bottled water...

Somehow watching this video is saying their water taste is better than tap water... That is just kinda hard to believe >:/

[Hydrophile44]

I agree with you about the taste of corn. We used to fire-roast cobs of corn. You leave the whole cob in the husk, soak them in cold water for hours, and then you put them in the hot embers from a big fire, then a bit of salt & butter, and I'm telling you it was the most amazing corn I ever tasted. As for Primo Water, I wonder about that, too. You never hear them talking about filtering it or where they source it from in the video. Tap water is probably just as tasty, if not more so.
