Eateries Say No to Bottled H20

Bottled water is like driving a SUV.
It's a lifestyle decision with no basis on common sense. Everywhere you go, what's lying on the side of the road, what's thrown into the forests, but empty bottled water containers.
Lets outlaw bottled water and get (your)lives and common sense back.

"Why do we have to make a choice? We need clean safe accessible tap and we need bottled water, too, for convenience and portability," said the ABA's Susan Neely.

Here's an idea: Buy a reusable bottle and FILL IT UP AT THE TAP. Convenient AND portable.

Buy yourself a nice water bottle, put a filter on your kitchen sink faucet and fill your own bottle. It will probably be more pure than what is being sold at a high price in those fancy bottles. Save the landfills of the excess plastic; less trash on the highways because some people don't have the decency to dispose of the bottle properly. Of course, that can be said of other beverage bottles, too.

Bottled water is the biggest joke out there. What a rip off...I'd rather drink out of the creek in my backyard than buy a $2 bottle of Fiji!!!

Plastic is one of the most dangerous carcenogenics available. I stopped drinking bottled water five years ago. I poured a bottle in my dogs bowl and he would not touch it. Next morning surprisingly there was a residue of fine white powder all around the bowl. Nothing we are eating should be packed in plastic. It infuriates me that a country as civilized as the US would continue to allow this garbage. It is forbidden to sell an pet food bowl made out of aluminum, but sell them to humans.

R~E~C~Y~C~L~E. I don't think that it is necessary to OUTLAW bottled water.(I think that law enforcement has enough already to tend to without having to chase down people drinking water) If someone wants to pay that much for tap water, let them. We all just need to learn how to recycle anything that can be recycled. If we don't, where is all of the trash going to go? We are going to end up with our backyards being our landfills. Won't that be a nice playground for the children....

I could not agree with you anymore! I am glad that someone one out there has some intelligence.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in that order. Yes, if you need to use a water bottle, recycle it. The other posters on this page are simply saying Reducing (not using them at all) and reusing, might be better than recycling them.

I do believe that Brad wrote that we should OUTLAW bottled water.
