Bottled Water

I go out of my way NOT to drink bottled water.
Yes, you read that correct, I’d chose tap over bottled any day. Not because tap taste better, or because it is safer, but on principle alone. Look, we pay a ton of taxes to clean this water for safe drinking. Then we pay the water company for the water. Now, why the hell would I pay AGAIN to buy unregulated privatized drinking water from Pepsi or Coke? It amazes me that some people pay 2.75 or whatever it is for a bottle of water from a Pepsi machine. Do you realized that the company is laughing all the way to the bank? It probably cost them next to nothing to fill those bottles, but then they sell it as if it is shipped from the glaciers of Swiss alps.
Don’t even try to count how many plastic bottles end up in landfills and recycling facilities (which we AGAIN have to pay for!!!)
Give me a break. Read the above article for move info on bottled water.
“Don’t be a sap, drink tap”.
(how’s that for a marketing slogan?)
