The United Church of Canada has asked its supporters to stop buying bottled water as it believes that water is a human right and no one should profit off it, what do you think?

What becomes of the workers who fill the water bottles? See the Pope's 1982 encyclical on the dignity of work.
Realistically, if Third World countries could get their acts together, curb curruption and successfully run water-purification utilities, this issue would not have arisen. Blame them.

That's silly.
The water is purified. Someone has to WORK to purify that water, they're not just getting it for free, it takes filters and other things. So it's not really fair, Now if you want to go drink unpurified water, with bacteria and such in it, be my guest. I think I'll stick to buying water, myself.
