Bottled water is healthy water -- right?
That's what the marketers would have us believe
Bottled water isn't a good value
No healthier than tap water
Bottled water means garbage
Bottled water means less attention to public systems
The corporatization of water
In reality, bottled water is just water.
In theory, bottled water in the United States falls under the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration. In practice, about 70 percent of bottled water never crosses state lines for sale, making it exempt from FDA oversight.
there's very little empirical evidence which suggests bottled water is any cleaner or better for you than its tap equivalent.
Consider taking Food and Water Watch's
No Bottled Water Pledge. Conserve water wherever possible, and stay on top of local water issues.
