Stop Drinking Bottled Water. Now
25 Jul / 08
Americans now spend more than fifteen billion a year on bottled water.
It takes about 50 million barrels of oil a year to make the 28 billion plastic bottles that contain this water. This is enough oil to fuel about 20% of the cars in the United States annually. Bizarrely it takes three times more water to produce the bottle, than the amount of water the bottle actually holds.
Eighty percent of plastic water bottles end up in landfills and are not recycled. Most plastic bottles will never biodegrade.
Bottled water costs more per gallon than gasoline.
Bottled water is typically 1000 times more expensive than tap water.
In almost every scientific comparison test the quality of bottled water is no better than tap water.
Forty percent of the bottled water sold in the United States is actually tap water.
If your tap water doesn’t taste right it is probably your plumbing, and a water filter, which takes out containments, but leaves the healthy minerals in water should solve the problem. (By the way distilled water is free of containments, but lacks the minerals your body needs from water.)
