Here's an interesting factoid. 28 billion units of bottled water are sold every year and has a terrible carbon footprint. If you add transportation costs costs of energy, the amount of diminishing resources used to get some plastic water in your hands when you could have got it almost free out of the tap, it is a scandal.

Here's what you can do to help. Find a plastic bottle of your favorite water. You know the one you need to define your personality and makes you look cool at the gym and walking in the park. Refill it with tap water which is safer than bottled water. In fact most bottled water is public source water (Hello!! that is tap water). Tap water is controlled by EPA and bottled water by the FDA. The EPA standards are higher. If the bottled water doesn't cross state lines no one controls it.

Another fact is that if you carry around a bottle of water you actually look like a dork. It is way not cool anymore. It is not PC.
