For as many people care about the pollution aspect of bottled water containers etc, there’s just an equal, if not more, group of people who couldn’t care less about the environment.

Factor into the above tourists in strange locales, they definitely need bottled water, seeing as they’re in unfamiliar surroundings etc.

This discussion needs to be championed from the Government, and trickled down to the masses for there to be meaningful change IMHO.

I can save money if I will just use a filter water from our house. And it can lessen the waste at home. And its not too heavy especially when you go to the mall and buy your needs at home. I dont buy bottle water. i just refill a small container of bottled water in our house and I will bring it in my office. No need to buy alot of bottle water in the store. I just use my filtered water.

Bottled water is such a waste. Even the 5 gallon bottles that go on water coolers. We can even be more conscious of the environment and drink plain filtered water. Just make sure to remove the chlorine. You can also go with a water ionizer which will even enhance the water benefits. Visit my website for more info

It is the small changes that lead us to bigger changes. I still don’t “get” the bottled water craze in America and its territories. We have the Safe Drinking Water Act…. I have drank bottled water only on Mexico. I drink tap water when I go to restaurants. When waiters give me the puzzled look I retort “I work at EPA, this water is safe”. I encourage people to look into their water company bill for the annual parameter reports.

I also find that having different sizes of reusable water containers helps with keeping this habit…so you have enough water for a day trip or a 6hr hike.

I just got back from a trip to Seoul, South Korea and observed something that I wished we had in the US. Almost all public cafes, restaurants, food courts, etc offered free water, either from a pitcher or from a water-filter machine. That helps with making sure when you’re low on water, you have a reliable, free, and convenient source for getting more water.

A lot of times, I find myself forced to buy bottled water when I am “on-the-go” because there isn’t a free/reliable source of drinking water that I can re-fill from.

Mrs. Sweda, your ability make me remembered again with those women, so… could I say: “Wasteful a billion but thrifty one, or its billion and wasteful one”. Not stingy but (?) environmentalism….
