The Real Cost of Water We Use: Peter Gleick, Pacific Institute

[alphabeets]

Water is a "non-renewable resource"? This guy is another government stooge. Water is encased in this earth it is not going away. It will always just end up back in the ocean. This guy is a joke. He's ok with, and recommends, drinking fluoridated and chlorinated water over good clean bottled water. Ok Pete, we'll keep drinking your kool-aid like you tell us to. Gotta control that population...

@alphabeets

1) Gleick does not claim water is non-renewable. Listen to the 33:00 mark in the video

2) Bottled water is often taken directly from municipal water systems

3) Assuming they can be backed up with data, divergent points of view are acceptable; sarcasm and baseless criticisms are not.

@riobravorider I stated "good clean bottled water". Yes, obviously bottled water varies in quality like anything else. Good quality bottled water is not taken from municipal water systems and is thus not intentionally contaminated with toxic chemicals like chlorine and flouride. Feel free to drink it all you want and give it to your kids- I won't- and I warn everyone I know. Perhaps my response is "acceptable" to you? If not, well, who cares. You're not the "point of view" police, right?
