The Worldwatch Institute recently unearthed some of the environmental hazards of drinking bottled water ... the pricey thirst-quencher adds 1.5 million tons of plastic each year to already overflowing landfills, and transporting the fancy H2O - by one estimate -- emits a WHOPPING one billion pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere each year! I guess drinking Polond Spring isn't so "green" after all ... in today's episode of KBTV!

  • 80% of bottled water is from the a Municiple source (Tap water), tap water is checked at aper day basis, bottled water by Federal regulation once a year, it's the lazy hypochondric people like Texture2000 that are fueling false fear and responsible for the excess waste, grow up or get treatment for your phobias!

  • Kate decent video but a ton was left out. If u drink tap water u r poisoning yourself (some people slowly, some people faster) w/Fluoride. (it is a poison thats put into our tap water by industry (fertilizer & aluminum) b/c treating it would cost them too much (so they make sweetheart deals w/Gov. official$). It does NOT help your teeth. (especially when u r swallowing it). prescription drugs & lead & piss are also in tap water. an expensive reverse osmosis system is the only help 4 that.

  • Nathan's is in Brooklyn... but anyway.

  • Very nice work...

  • Do we really need to hear that water bottles are an environmental problem? We all know they are. So act now, do not buy those tiny disposable bottles.

  • Great story. Thanks for highlighting such an important issue most Americans know little about.

    THINK OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE!!!

  • Just stop buying it RIGHT NOW!

    Get a thermos and fill it with filtered water.

  • Once you realize what "Evian" is spelled backward, you broke the code. I was at a night club where the $8 drink of the day was a Polish Coctail Boy was I pissed to get I got Pieere and water. I don't care where you come from, that's wronnggg.

  • Now what are we to think of the purchase of Glaceau water by Coca Cola? The pricetag is overwhelming and it is only water!
