This one hits home - we drink bottled water. . . maybe it's time for us to re-evaluate. . .
-- 70 million disposable plastic water bottles are consumed in the US each day
-- every year 22 billion bottles either go in the landfill or are incinerated
-- it takes 1000 years for a water bottle to decompose in a landfill
-- at $1.00 a bottle, you are paying $8.00 a gallon which makes gasoline seem pretty cheap
Something else to consider - tap water has fluoride in it which promotes the health of your teeth. Recently my dentist has begun to ask me if I drink bottled water. Reason being, cavities have increased because people use bottled water as their primary source of drinking water.
