Bottle water;clear doesn´t always mean clean.



The bottles along use up 1.5 billion barrels of oil to produce each year,and 86% of the 30 billion bottles bought and sold in the States last year were not recycled.Too bad,too,beacuse almost all bottled water bottles are made from Type 1 plastic-perfect for that blue bin.


Have you ever thought about what´s in your bottled water?Probably not;bottled water is supposed to be the purest in the land,right?


The answer is;wrong.


Instead of purposefully paying for greener,cleaner water,most companies have you doling out the dough for nothing more than tap water(i.ex.Coca Cola´s Dasani and Pepsi´s Aquafina).


Even worse,regulations for tap water in cities,across the States are often more stringent than those for that pricey,´´pure´´taste.The NRDC even reports that bottled water companies don´t strictly test for viruses such as Crypto-sporidium,Giardi,as well as other dirty little bactering.
