Now that is a good photo. Bery, some good camera took that shot. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 15:02 4
- Some of it is good, but there's a bit of noise in the saucer towards the bottom of the image -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:03 3
  - Photo snob. I like it, so there :) -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 15:06 1
    - naw, I'm a noise snob :) I hate getting speckles in my photos. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:15
  - (If I had money to devote to photographic hardware, I'd have a DSLR with a kit of lenses, but I don't :)) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:04
I'm not a fan of banning it as it serves *some* purpose, but I do think it's extremely silly. - Reagen Mar 9, 14:59
I don't think that graph is showing that, since the main problem with bottled water is the plastic, and the graph doesn't address plastic. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 14:48 9
- Yeah, true enough, though if you ban bottle water for the plastic, doesn't it logically follow that other drinks should be addressed as well? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 14:54 7
  - I haven't seen this come up on ST, so for non-Canadians -- (link) - Alan More Mar 9, 14:56
  - Only if the majority of consumers also have soda running out of faucets in their home. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 14:56 4
    - everyone lives at McD ? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:59
    - Anecdotally, I once heard that was part of Coca-Cola's mission statement, or something like that -- nm - Alan More Mar 9, 14:57 2
      - I would like a soda fountain in my house. I looked into it once, but most of them seemed overpriced and expensive to maintain. Someone needs to make - Beryllium Mar 9, 14:59 1
        
        There are tons of sites out there that show how to make relatively-cheap home carbonation systems, but integrating the syrup is prob'ly tougher. - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 15:35
  - use recyckle plastic bottles (one dollar each) -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:55
- well atleast the graph is neat still -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:52
everyone knowes bottled water comes from nothing -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:44
