a lot of cities are banning bottled water due to its harm on the enviroment....
one 20 oz bottle of Evian water is said to have used 2 oz of gas to get it to our shelves in America..
what do you think?

Evian spelled backwards is naive.

I avoid drinking bottled water when I can. I think it is ridiculous having to spend good money on something that comes free out of a tap.
My daughter did a comparison in her science class about how clean various water sources were. Laughingly, toilet water (from the back of the tank, not the bowl) was the cleanest, while the bottled water was low on the list.

Stop? I never started. ^_^ It's absurd, all you are really paying for is the container and the transport costs, and I'd rather *not* send another used-up piece of plastic to a landfill.
If I want purer water I'll get myself a pitcher with one of those water filters, it's cheaper in the long run. And besides, bottled water is *bad* for the kids too because it isn't flouridated--meaning it doesn't help reinforce their teeth between brushings....
I may not be perfectly green enough to get a thumbs-up over in Green Living (tough crowd there!) but I'm not an *idiot* ok? ^_^
Thanks for your time!

Yes. Everyone in my family is getting a reusable water bottle, instead of bottled water. We'll refill that each day instead of bottled water and bring it to school, work, going out, etc. Our family already has a Hinckley Springs tank (whatever its called) that you fill cups with. Now we'll just fill our water bottles. No more bottled water harming the earth (in our house)! We never really used water bottles before except for going out places. At home we used cups. Now we'll use out reusable bottles!

My family will drink water better if it is bottled and in the fridge instead of getting a glass and filling it with ice and tap water.

my tap water tastes like dust, I buy local spring water by the gallon and recycle the jugs. Evian can bite me.

Meethinks a few politicians weren't getting a big enough kickback from the bottled water companies.

I have been thinking of this alot lately...in 3rd world countries they would use a bottle forever not waste it ...america is the land of consumption and waste ....we have too many luxuries and are killing our planet. I also buy 5 gallon jugs

that's why I bought a filter that cleans out 95% of all the additives they put in water.

I'll probably cut down but I won't stop altogether.
