I stopped buying bottled water and tried out plastic and metal water bottles. I did not like them so I tried glass and found one that I love so much I sell them on my green blog: www.livinglavidaverde.net<br /><br />I really believe that the more people learn about bottled water, the less they will want to spend their hard earned money on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209233.post-75794094040115706312008-08-23T16:42:00.000-04:002008-08-23T16:42:00.000-04:00The water from our tap is actually more regulated ...The water from our tap is actually more regulated than bottled water.Zombie Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225882122358610797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209233.post-91709515530822769572008-08-12T07:40:00.000-04:002008-08-12T07:40:00.000-04:00Some tap water has objectionable taste or odor.

It is also subjected to the condition of the conduit from the source to the point of use; not to mention that chlorine, THMs, fluoride, trace metals and pharmaceuticals can be present under EPA standards.<BR/><BR/>All that noted, tap is basically safe and the best choice for our citizens. We have invested billions of dollars building the treatment plants and infrastructure to have potable water available everywhere. There is no need to use fuel for large trucks or plastic production to deliver water.<BR/><BR/>For those of us that prefer contaminant free water from the tap, I find a <A HREF="www.officewater.net" REL="nofollow"> reverse osmosis water cooler</A> is a great solution. It purifies tap water at the point of use. This eliminates the objectionable elements of tap, while leveraging the municipal infrastructure. It is the next generation drinking water service and the green alternative to bottled water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
