    Bottled water requires fossil fuels for plastic production, distribution, and has a low recycling rate, with most bottles ending up in landfills or oceans. Livestock agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, more than transportation. Electric and hybrid vehicles have environmental impacts from the production of nickel-metal hydride batteries, including mining in places like New Caledonia that causes severe environmental degradation. The process of manufacturing hybrid car batteries is also very energy intensive and results in only marginally better fuel efficiency than gas-only vehicles. Studies show that hybrid owners may end up driving more due to fuel savings, negating environmental benefits. There is no clear consensus on the most environmentally friendly options.

    Things we might like to know
    Bottled Water
     1.5 mn barrels of crude oil for the
    plastics
     Fossil fuels for distribution
     Less than 25% recycled => landfills &
    oceans
     Bottled water better than filtered tap
    water??
    Non-Veg diet
     More green house gas than driving cars
     Contaminated runoff from slaughter
    houses
     Livestock contributes 18% percent of
    GHG
    Electric and Hybrid cars
     Nickel-metal hydride & Nickel-
    Cadmium cell
     Severe environmental impact in New
    Caledonia, Sudbury etc.
    The Process
    Nickel from origin => Refinery in Europe
    => China for Nickel foam => Japan for
    manufacture => All over the world for
    consumption
    All that, just to put a single hybrid battery
    into a car!!

    Energy required to build and drive a


    hybrid almost 50% more than that to build
    and drive a Hummer.
    Hybrids might result in more fuel
    consumption than gas cars.

    Hybrids save fuel and hence money but


    because they do so, studies show people
    are driving more.
    What is good for Environment??
    Conflicting Studies
    Little things make the difference…
    Thank You
