Default Fiji Bottled Water - Not Very Environmental

Quote:
In summary, the manufacture and transport of that one kilogram bottle of Fiji water consumed 26.88 kilograms of water (7.1 gallons) .849 Kilograms of fossil fuel (one litre or .26 gal) and emitted 562 grams of Greenhouse Gases (1.2 pounds).

Wow, if true that's astonishing.

EDIT: Lots of that would seem to come from making the bottle, which would apply to all bottled water, not just Fiji.
