Bottled water is one of the most wasteful habits this country has. In a time of cheap oil, plastic bottles aren't recycled but end up in landfills or cast into the environment. Even in times when it is more expensive, less than 40% of these billions of single usage bottles are ever recycled. That's a huge amount of wasted plastic. Combine that with the energy it takes to transport water at seven pounds per gallon, distances of thousands miles(Fiji water actually comes all the way from Fiji!) and we waste vast resources and create a huge amount of solid waste. It is also ridiculous to spend five dollars a gallon on water  which is usually the same quality that can be purchased locally for around twenty dollars for a thousand gallons. Buy inexpensive reusable bottles, fill them from the tap. If you are concerned for some reason about water quality, buy a water filter. Over the years, you will save thousands of dollars and do your part to reduce waste and pollution.
