Bottled Water

I've always found bottled water a little silly, unless you are out and just really want water to drink and there is no water fountain around. But, now I will prob. have a hard time buying it even in those situations. Apparently, the production of bottled water (bottle, transport., etc..) is ridiculously bad for the environment and this is really bad considering that in most places in the US, we have access to perfectly fine drinking water straight out of the faucet, or the tap water is at least fine after being filtered at home. Now, the stats below concern Fiji water, so the transport. costs will be higher than some brands.

What it takes to produce and ship 1 liter of imported (Fiji) bottled water:

• 26.88kg of water
  
• 562 grams of green house gasses released

I got this info here.
