Bottled Water is Crazy and NOT SAFER (Do NOT buy it, esp. Evian, San Pelegrino, Fiji)
Plastic bottles take 700 years to begin composting • 90% of the cost of bottled water is due to the bottle itself • 80% of plastic bottles are not recycled
38 million plastic bottles go to the dump per year in America from bottled water (not including soda) 24 million gallons of oil are needed to produce a billion plastic bottles The average American consumes 167 bottles of water a year
Bottled water is unregulated and often less safe than tap water • For the price of one bottle of Evian, a San Franciscan can
receive 1,000 gallons of tap water • Cost is between 240x and 10,000X tap water http://greenupgrader.com/3258/plastic-bottle-facts-make-you-think-before-you-drink/
