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 a nd 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 raised over $ 1 million and gained 1，000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer's interest when the production machine is running. It is quickly making a rise，so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.
