You buy bottled water to be healthy, but tap water is proven as good or better, and it has the flouride kids need. Also, the plastic bottles can not be recycled as fast as we drink them, so the landfills are filling up and only 1 of 4 plastic bottled are recycled. We are polluting the earth by drinking bottled water!

  • Great comments. I'm more concerned about where all these empty plastic bottles are going. I read somewhere that only a fraction are recycled because any bottles with the plastic top left on will be discarded.

  • That's a great point, Kevin, but Americans are motivated by money. If we can get them to save the environment and save money at the same time, so be it.

  • "...it has the flouride kids need."

    kids do not need flouride in the water, they do need discipline for sugar intake. Fluoride is a poison, why would we give our kids additional poisons than the ones already available in our environment?!

  • Buying bottled water is lunacy. Not only does it taste bad in a plastic bottle, it is subject to lower standards than most municipal water sources. Not to mention the financial cost and environment impact of all that discarded plastic

    But then, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public...

  • People buy bottled water because they are LAZY!! too lazy to change their habits, it's disgusting how mainstream culture has developed.

  • Hmmmm... Poison control center says not to swallow a pea sized amount of toothpaste because the Flouride can make you sick. Hmmmm... the average glass of water contains about the same amount of flouride. Oh Yeah Tap Water is good for you... Go back to the Enquirer you hack...

  • good issue im doing this topic for my science fair project :)

  • the news lady didn't even care about the environment she was just concerned with money.
