The recycling gesture

Here's a flashmob performed for a TV show in Quebec.
The scene takes place in a mall. A man walks next to a container with a water bottle in his hand. He lays the water bottle on the ground to tire her shoes and goes by abandoning it. Many people also walk next to the container and the water bottle without reacting. Perhaps without seeing the bottle itself close to the trash. Meanwhile, some persons are sitting at tables in restaurants and cafes nearby and watch the scene.
Bottled water recycling

After several uninterrupted passages, a woman stops facing the bottle, picks it up and puts it in the container. That's when the crowd of people in the mall around her, rise to acclaim her. All of them are have a red cap on their head and applaud the courage of this woman, the only one to throw the bottle in the trash.


This simple gesture should not be ignored anymore. We regularly drink bottled water and we should recycle our plastic bottles. For this, we need to take the habit of picking up our bottles and put them in the dedicated containers for this purpose.
We need to praise this example and recycle our water bottles.

Point break

Do you know this movie? I have seen it yesterday for the first time and I’ve loved it. Or maybe it’s because I like very much Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. I have seen the ending scene several times, perhaps 5. Yes I know! Ah ah! But it’s so beautiful when it’s raining and Keanu Reeves let Patrick go to surf on the big Wave. The water of the sea is gorgeous but so scary.

I Stop talking, have a look on this scene:

“Be water my friend”

Before he died, the famous martial art specialist Bruce Lee said this sentence during a TV show: “Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Our best tsunamis scenes in movies

Although water and good hydration are essential for our survival, too much water can be disastrous. This is brilliantly captured by movies which feature a devastating tsunami as a catalyst for the action. What could be more terrifying than a wall of water advancing at several hundred miles an hour? Even the best water management schemes cannot prevent tsunamis, or the impact of the sea reaching and contaminating other valuable sources of water, making them even more deadly. Here are some of the best moments of cinematic tidal wave terror.

Famous people in water commercial ads

Many people think that bottled water isn't a particularly exciting product and there is probably a degree of truth in this statement. Because of this image, a water brand has to put a considerable amount of thought into the marketing of their products. Any advertisement will have a greater impact with a well known celebrity and since commercials became common in the 1960s, many stars have been involved. There are many types of water that fall into the 'mineral water' category i.e. still, sparkling and flavoured.
