Water
Why this is
important:
"Despite
its association with purity and cleanliness, bottled water
is bad for the environment. It is shipped at vast expense
from one part of the world to another, is then kept
refrigerated before sale, and causes huge numbers of
plastic bottles to go into landfills.”

Drinking
bottled water takes the water out of the watershed area,
which can prevent the source from being replenished.
Not to mention,
that
“tap water is more
stringently monitored and tightly regulated than bottled
water."

What
you can do:
Buy a reusable water bottle, and use it! If you are worried
about water quality, there are many filter systems
available.
