Right from its introduction, I have referred to bottled water as the biggest American rip-off ever and refused to buy it! I'd rather be thirsty. I continue to be incredulous that so many millions of bottles of water are sold every day. We fell hard for the corporate advertising tactics. Surely, we have some sense left to come back to. Carry a stainless or aluminum bottle with you and fill from the tap. There is clean water available for free everywhere. I thank you– the planet will benefit.
