where are the bottles coming from?

In the search for the basic material to build our flower, the plastic water bottles, there are important questions that are being raised, such as,
- where do the bottles come from? why are there so many of them and yet it is so difficult to have access to them?
- which is the price of our waste?
- how available is it for everyone?
- which is the process that follows the moment we throw the bottles away?

and well, since this class is based on the use of ¨free available trash¨to build our structures, it can be interesting to think not only about the problem of availability of drinkable water, but also about the cost of recycling our trash, about the recycling process in general, and about the whole system, economical as well as social, that is feeding from the excesses of our society.

Here is a link to an interesting website, www.storyofstuff.com, which explains a little more about this...
