Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet , it also increases

pollution and wastes energy and water .Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a

recycling bin,meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.

Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho. It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink

it, you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜）or tear a hole in the membrane with your

teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in

your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship lots of Ooho bubbles

without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have attempted to package units

of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane. It is targeting large

outdoor events such as marathons, music festivals, and sporting events, where tons of

plastic bottles are used, and frequently left behind as litter. And too much plastic is

sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for their purpose of such a new

invention.

The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and

materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied for a patent for their new

advancement. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set

yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles.

It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals,

and so on.

Ooho is catching many people's attention and has raise over $1 million and gained

1,000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to

keep th consumer's interest when the production machine is running . It quickly making
