Bottled water is a $60 billion dollar industry, but why?

- Tap water is almost free while bottled water is $1-2/liter (more expensive than gas!)
- 40% of bottled water is actually just bottled tap water.
- Tap water is tested for E.coli, while bottled water is not.
- Water bottle production uses oil (enough to fuel 1 million cars for a year)
- Water bottle production uses 3 times the amount of water that actually fills the bottle.
- Only 20% of water bottles get recycled, producing 3 billion pounds of garbage a year.

I will admit that I have some water bottles…which I use to fill with tap water! Hell ya! I’m all about the cheapness. Why pay for water when it is free?

Can people actually taste a difference? I sometimes add a teaspoon of sugar to my tap water and it becomes way better than normal water.

I used to boil my water, but then I saw the light. Unboiled water might be slightly worse than boiled water. But Coke is like 100x worse, and I drink that stuff like water!
