Stop Buying Bottled Water!

I have always thought that bottled water was the biggest bunch of bull cookies I had ever heard of . I have not or will not ever buy bottled water. Good subject to bring up. If you get a good filter and a reusable water bottle it is much more enviromentally friendly.

You make a good point! I don't normally buy bottled water myself as a rule, although I have done on occasions, normally when it has been a hot day and need refreshing. It does seem pointless buying it, when we have a constant flow of it running through our taps. I understand some water can taste pretty rank, our does at times, only in the kitchen though, I think that is purely because our washing machine is connected to the same cold water pipe and it affects the taste. It makes much more sense to buy a filter jug, these have come down in price over the years, probably due to them becoming increasingly popular.

I used to be so anal about bottled water..It was the ONLY water i would drink actually but then my husband bought a filter for the tap (bottled water is EXPENSIVE in the U.S) and we are actually looking into getting an entire system (filter/softener etc) for the house

The marketing hype is such..... Thanks for the enlightening post. In general we use a filter and take water off the public water system, which is quite good in New Zealand. Many rural households use rainwater cachment and do not depend on public water supply at all. But when we were in California - everyone was using bottled water, and mindlessly we followed. Something to do with dissolved salts in the water system. You certainly have done well to highlight the wasteful consumption orientation that has become so unthinkgly rampant.

Wow is that true.. I like aquafina better anyway... it is purified water... It isn't spring water
