That is real convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Choice is used to create a false sense of entitlement that generates waste in the name of freedom and convenience. It&#8217;s utter nonsense. Smokers said it should be their choice over other people&#8217;s health to smoke wherever they wanted to when the side effects were clear. The same argument, though more protracted works in this case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The notion that you make bottled water always available in the name of an emergency when the emergency doesn&#8217;t exist at all times is pretty silly. Though the analogy is a little bit weak in this case, everyone isn&#8217;t allowed to carry a concealed weapon because there MIGHT be a killer in the restaurant you are in. Should we have access to any other number of ecologically and socially degrading things in the name of disasters? If anything, that&#8217;s an argument for the stockpiling and reserving of water for emergencies. When I was a kid we had a giardia outbreak where I lived and the national guard brought us water. Take care of water with tax money and not with private waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<p>He makes some interesting points&#8230; What do you guys think?<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to contribute to the discussion by posting a comment below or e-mail selwa@filtersfast.com to be featured in a separate post.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, stay tuned for more responses from other universities.\u00a0 Not affiliated with a university?
