THINK B4U DRINK BOTTLED WATER ???

By now, you probably already know a lot of reasons to think twice about drinking bottled water, right?
For one thing, about 86 percent of the 30+ billion plastic bottles of water gulped by thirsty American consumers every year are never recycled, even though most U.S. cities have recycling programs in place to turn them into everything from new bottles to carpet and clothing. For another, a lot of popular brands of bottled water are really little or no different than the tap water that comes out of your kitchen faucet without the hefty price tag.

On top of all that, tap water is generally safer than bottled water. Bottled water companies aren’t required to test for chemicals such as arsenic, bacteria such as E. Coli, viruses such as Giardia and Crypto-sporidium and other nasty comtaminants. Municipal water districts are.

Well, here’s one more reason to flush bottled water from your daily routine: it turns out that getting one liter of bottled water into your hands requires up to 2,000 times as much energy to produce, package and transport the stuff as it takes to provide you with the same amount of tap water.
