But, putting those aside, we should all agree that the convenience that our country in particular thrives upon, is killing this world. Fast food restaurants and single serving containers makes for far too many things to be thrown away, recycled, etc. If you buy in bulk and store the products in reusable containers, you greatly reduce the amount of waste your household 'makes'. Water is the same thing. If you don't have potable water from your faucets, do the right thing: get reusable jugs from a water store, and get those refilled. When you run out of the house, don't grab a puny, disposable water bottle. Rather, go buy yourself a SIGG bottle and refill from the large bottle. BULK is the answer to many things. Many people think that since they recycle those little bottles that they're doing the right thing. I thank you for recycling, but I won't applaud you until you start doing the right thing, and stop living off of convenience. Wow, great discussion, and some ridiculous theories.

A couple things to add: your assumption that you are not getting fluoride in bottled water is mistaken. See the NRDC tests on bottled water. Lots of it has fluoride and other chemicals. Well-filtered tap water carried in a reusable bottle is not only far cheaper but you can have much purer water. Secondly, the environmental cost of created soft plastic bottles - for Coke, water, whatever - and then paying for trucks to ship it around, and burning fuel to keep it cold burns a lot of petroleum and hurts the environment. This is unsustainable, and we need to do better. Hi David,

We have terrific water in our city yet everyone in my former office chose bottled water for convenience alone. It's shameful. The vast vast majority of municipal water is perfect for drinking.
