With the changing life styles of present civilization, wastage/litter in its various forms has become one of the serious problems for the well being of mother planet earth.

Despite the fact that we're all fully aware of the negative impact plastic water bottles have on our Mother Earth, we continue to consume them at the alarming rate of 480 billion per year. Discarded bottles can be seen polluting here and there on roads, buses, trains and at every place used by human beings. Approximately one billion of those plastic bottles pollute the oceans also. Plastic is cheap to make, which is why it's used for bottling drinks and other liquids, but that doesn't mean it's as good for the environment as it is for the manufacturer. Every plastic bottle takes a thousand years to break down, which leads to massive piles of waste that go nowhere fast. Manpower and machinery involved in recycling these discarded water bottles are playing their role but not with the pace with which this trash is being generated by human.

Efforts are also being made to minimize or restrict the use of the plastic bottles but without much fruitful outcomes. Need of drinking water at every time and every place is becoming an essential habit/requirement of present water-bubble human race. Hence, there is a great need to develop water carriers which are more handy and environmental friendly. In this direction, the biodegradable edible water pods created by Skipping Rocks Lab (London, Uk) in an attempt to make a more environmentally friendly alternative to single-serving plastic bottles.

Water carriers can come in different materials with all shapes and sizes, but to replace one of the most simple, ubiquitous water carriers on the planet - in this case, plastic bottles - it really has to be unbelievably brilliant to have any chance at success. In this direction, “Ooho” is an edible bottle created by Skipping Rocks Lab and is a product that's perfectly suited for internet hype.
