Interesting Facts about Bottled Water

Hey check out this issue of Greentips:

http://www.ucsusa.org/publications/greentips/

I am not a bottled water snob and have always had a Brita water filter in the fridge. Tastes good, is cold, reduces the amount of recyclables, and there is an endless amount. I do however have a case of bottled water in the car, just in case. I agree with this article and find it especially interesting how they point out the amount of energy that goes into processing bottled water, etc......

If you don't subscribe to the Greentips newsletter, I recommend you do. There is always great information provided.
