Environmentally MattyC is right. Bottled water is the devil. It's a dumb idea sold to us by commercials and in some cases, vanity.
Not only that, all those supposed health benefits of extra oxygen, water from exotic locales, etc. are not only untrue, but often not even in the water as advertised. For example, many brands of spring water have been shown to be taken from the tap from some system.
It's marketing and consumerism pure and simple.
Unfortunately there is a huge demand for it, and even being environmentally minded, I can see some legitimate uses and important conveniences with it.
It, like all environmental issues, probably starts with education. It is another thing, like many, where we really need to reduce and conserve and think about.
Pretty much all environmentalism comes from that. Think about where your energy comes from, and use less.
