Just because it's in a plastic bottle doesn't make it safer for you or the environment. Learn why in this graphic.
It's horrendous how people waste money and ruin the environment under the false belief it's healthier or it's somehow 'trendy' or 'fashionable' to drink it.
That's what I mean by trendy and fashionable. Also I know of people that will, for example, buy Fiji water, simply because they feel they're making some kind of statement by drinking it.
In most western countries at least, most tap water is perfectly acceptable and safe to drink. I've never had tap water that tastes like sewage yet.
I drink glassfuls of tap water every day, and haven't suffered any ill effects.
Really - WAKE UP - you are not making a difference on this argument, it is only frustrating you and making you feel better that you think you are trying to do something good for the environment, but you're not.
So that's aside from any 'feel good' or 'do right for the environment' concerns that I might have.
The bottled water manufacturers can stick it where ever they like. Tap water is fine for me. I don't need to swell the corporate coffers anymore than they are already.
Cheers to clean chemical free water, that's the water your parents and grand parent drank Ian, not the chemical cocktail that comes out of the tap now that you call water.
