Kick the bottle

Finally, there has been a lot of attention focused on all the bottled water consumed in this country. The amount of bottles that have to be recycled is enormous. By many measures, bottled water is a scam. The crazy thing about bottled water is that it is usually just tap water, with an additive here or there to make it taste a bit different. Throughout the U.S., tap water is much more regulated than bottle water, going through testing and monitoring that bottle water does not.

No one complains about the cost of bottle water, yet it is more expensive per gallon than gasoline. If we had an option to fill our car with the same octane gas out of the tap, everyone would do it. So why do we buy so much bottle water?

Want to help make a reduction in your environmental footprint? Kick the bottle and drink tap water. You can make a difference in reducing the plastic that has to be made and recycled, plus the transportation of these bottles to the store.
