I don't see why bottled water gets such a bad rap when any other bottled beverage uses the exact same packaging.
Seems that nearly everything in supermarkets that was once distributed in glass containers is now plastic. Where is the outrage about all of THAT plastic?
Matt and Rick, the difference is you can't get soda and fruit juice out of your faucet. Bottled water duplicates a perfectly viable delivery system which uses far less energy and does not add to solid waste.
It must be nice to live where there are not repeated biological pollutants and tainted delivery systems.
You can smell the treatment chemicals in a glass of tap water in Providence, R.I. from several feet away. When there isn't a boiling tap water health order.
