I noticed that all of the pro bottled water comments are all new youtube accounts supporting bottled water. Holy propaganda batman!

[TheDaisyDog22]

This bottled water backlash seems like such a pet issue compared to other problems surrounding water. How about focusing our collective energy on safe water infrastructure around the world? On making tap water safer in the US? This issue is creating a home for extreme views and internet lynch mobs. You are attacking anyone who departs from your narrow dogma. I drink tap. when i don;t have access to a steel canteen or glass, i drink bottled. i recycle my bottles. It's my choice

[Greg Meyer]

Most bottled water companies literally source their water from the tap and do nothing else too it but sell it to you at 10,000 the price.

So the best solution is to buy a reverse osmosis whole house filter, but guess what...that is expensive. What about the rest of the population that can't afford such a necessity? We need some responsible people to re-think the entire water distribution system as it looks like it hasn't been over-hauled in a while. Cyanide and fluoride in the water system should not be acceptable IN ANY AMOUNT what-so-ever.

[zerokill2006]

While I do not advocate bottled water, I do see a need for water that is of higher quality than tap water. With contaminants of radon, cyanide, fluoride (by product waste from fertalizer phosphate companies), and other heavy metals, there is a definite need for high quality drinking water. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. The bottled water industry is not regulated (from toxins bleeding into the water from the plastic petrol botles), and the municiple water is contaminated.

Buy a filter then.

how utterly pitiful. I've lost faith in major corporations. They grow so big that they don't see the damage they do from outsourcing (looking at you nestle). Turning a profit is all they want...after all, water is a free natural resource ripe for the pumping. Do they consider that the amount they take will damage any ecosystem surrounding their pumping zone? watch 'for the love of water', that will show the truth behind their lies. This is no better than corp videos stating that BGH is harmless.

No one should have to pay for water to begin with. It should be a free resource available to all.

i think i read that Nalgene bottles have BPA in the spouts...might want to check on that.

@ 2m:9s into to the response video, the guy says "we ATTEMPT to recycle ALL the material waste that comes out of the manufacturing facility" ! water being a natural resource, all they do is produce waste....and make money out of it....

[Brian Coble]

Yes it's an unnecessary product. How do you think we lived off of tap water for all those years before the 1970's? And filtering tap water is only for taste, not for making it "drinkable" it was drinkable to begin with. Bottled water companies are wasting our natural resources and making you pay 2000 times the value of drinking water.
