Bottled Water - Terrible for the Earth, Your Health, and Your Wallet!

There is a forum called Vital Votes on mercola.com (linked to in the article) that most of you will never care to sign up for to check out. But someone posted on there said they know someone who works for pepsi - who make aquifina bottled water - and they RADIATE the water and its radioactive for 24 hours before they bottle it and the employees wear radiation suits. Really something to look into. Read about plastic leaching into the bottles, etc... scary stuff.


Why You Want to Avoid Bottled Water
Every liter of bottled water you buy may have taken 5 liters of water to produce, and likely caused the release of a quarter-kilogram of greenhouse gases.

Drinking pure water is easily one of the most important things you can do for your health, particularly when you drink it instead of sugary drinks like soda or juice. But relying on bottled water to do this is not the best answer.

Worldwide consumption of bottled water increased by nearly 60 percent to 41 billion gallons in 2004. We are on track toward consuming more than 50 billion gallons this year.

People pay premium prices for exotic bottled water brands like Fiji and Evian in the hopes that it is more pure than water from nearby sources. However, this puts a giant strain on both the environment and your pocketbook.

And bottled water is not an assurance of purity. In fact, up to 40 percent of bottled water is bottled tap water that may or may not have received additional treatment. On top of that, it may also be contaminated with the metal antimony.

So where can you find clean, affordable, environmentally friendly water supplies? Pi Water. Avoid drinking unfiltered tap water, as chlorine and fluoride, which are added to most municipal water supplies, are toxic chemicals that shouldn't be consumed in large quantities. And filtered water from your tap is still "dead" water - so talk to me and get some "living" Pi Water from Nikken. You can get systems for your house, but here is another option that replaces the need for bottled water:
