Don't Drink the Water

Are you one of the millions of Americans who have consumed over eight billion gallons of bottled water last year?

If you are, please consider these reasons for changing to good old tap water. First of all more than 25% of bottled water comes from a municipal supply. That is right. Some company is taking tap water that is possibly run through a filter and then sold to us consumers at a thousandfold increase in price. Not bad! You spend more for a gallon of the stuff than you would for a gallon of gasoline.

Furthermore the bottled water may not be as pure as you expect. The FDA oversees bottled water, but their standards do not apply water packaged and sold within the same state. Secondly most bottled water comes in polyethylene terephthalate bottles indicated by a number PET or PETE on the bottle's bottom. When stored in hot or warm temperatures the plastic may leach toxic chemicals into the water. Leaving bottled water sitting in a hot car is even more dangerous because the heat speeds up the process. The same risk applies if you refill a bottle with tap water and leave it in your car.

Bottled water also affects the environment. Virgin petroleum is used to make PET. The more bottles we use the more petroleum is needed. This is a waste of fossil fuels. My recommendation is to drink tap water whenever possible. If you are going out or traveling carry it in a reusable stainless steel or lined drinking container. If you must have bottled water look for brands that have NSF certification and keep the bottles cool.

Think before you drink.
