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.

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.

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