Okay, no big deal. It\u2019s just one bottle right? Well, Charleston is a peninsula, meaning that we are entirely surrounded by the ocean. According to Hannah Ellsbury in her article \u201cThe Problem with Plastic\u201d, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. That means that, on average, all of us in this room cumulatively throw away or litter 6,100 water bottles a year. Now, let\u2019s say that about \u00bc of these end up in our beautiful Charleston harbor. That\u2019s about 1,525 bottles just floating around outside of Charleston in a year, and that\u2019s strictly from our first year seminar class alone. Pollutants found in the plastic in disposable water bottles deteriorate and leach into the water leaving potential carcinogens in the water we drink daily. Now if all 1,525 water bottles in our harbor are deteriorating, that means your fresh seafood at Hyman\u2019s might be slightly infested with pollutants.<strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"> *[3]<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1295440.png\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1295440.png\"><strong>Susan says: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 120px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">*[3] <\/span><\/strong>Most people use (or have used) plastic water bottles.

According to Catherine Fox from National Geographic, Americans buy more water bottles than any other nation averaging at about 29 billion. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil. That\u2019s enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months. By investing $10 in a reusable plastic water bottle, you are saving on average, $81.25 per year.

I believe that the College of Charleston should maintain the same standards they have set for the dining halls throughout campus. Soda dispensers with compostable cups should replace the vending machines currently residing in our education buildings. The Starbucks on campus should charge a small fee for each plastic cup used when ordering cold drinks.

In 2002, 6,190 donor heroes and their families made the decision to donate.

A Gallup poll conducted for the Partnership for Organ Donation showed that 85% of Americans supported organ donation. According to the Organtransplants.org website each year nearly 50% of families decline the opportunity to save lives by donating organs and tissues of deceased loved ones. The truth is even if you have decided to be an organ donor and you yourself know the significance of your choice your family has the final say as to whether or not your commitment is carried out. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>*[12]<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The letter will serve as another reminder of the donor&#8217;s commitment to share his donation decision with his family, furthermore solidifying his decision and his intent. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>*[13]<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1295440.png\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1295440.png\">Susan says: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 120px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>*[9\u201313]<\/strong> <\/span>At the end of the speech, the speaker explains what artifacts will be used to encourage participation in organ donation.
