Start thinking outside the bottle

Bottled water isn’t as good for you as you may have been lead to believe. In recent years bottled water has become an extremely popular drink. I would even go as far as to say that it has become a fashion accessory for 21^st century trendsetters. However, there are certain shocking revelations about bottled water that most people are blissfully unaware of. Bottled water corporations are successfully changing the way people think about water and are undermining people’s confidence in what are actually purer forms of water. This article is not intended to be a scathing attack on large corporations; it simply presents the honest facts.

• Most bottled water is proven to be of a lower standard than municipal tap water
• Up to 40 percent of bottled water in the USA and Canada is sourced from municipal tap water
• Some bottlers have built bottling plants close to spring water sources and groundwater with no regard for the community and the environment
• Bottled water travels long distances from its source resulting in the burning of destructive fossil fuels and the millions of plastic water bottles that land up in the environment
