It is still a plastic bottle. The bottle is made of oil from a renewable source. The renewable source, needs even more non-renewable oil to be grown. Corn farming uses enormous amounts of petroleum to be grown, from the fertilizers, to the fuel to transport, to the fuel needed to convert to plastic, and the carbon footprint left behind from the farming, and transporting of those plastic bottles of water that can be had locally. It is wonderful advance that this plastic is compostable, but it is not the final answer to this issue. Great idea, but the problem remains, and becomes worse.. It is still a plastic bottle.

Connecticut College’s student group Water Action Now is working to ban bottled water on their campus and have done some research to help them figure out what it would take to win the student body over to tap water. However, apparently Coca Cola makes a contribution to colleges or universities along with it’s exclusive contract to sell its bottled water and other products on campus. Tough is the struggle to free a campus of bottled water products. Tougher is the double whammy of losing Coke's financial "contributions." Eco-filmmaker Shalini Kantayya is touring college campuses now to discuss her futuristic film, A Drop of Life, and has some amazing reaction for students. http://tiny.cc/bgOXF It’s very cool with students get fired up about these issues and problem-solve on their campuses… their community.
