Think outside the bottle!

http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/food-and-health/food-and-drink/beverages/bottled-water.aspx

Be eco-friendly and stop buying bottled water!
  • It takes 3 times as much water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it
  • Fossil fuels are also used in the packaging of water. The most commonly used plastic for making water bottles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is derived from crude oil
  • Fossil fuels and related ommisions from transport of containers of water
  • Plastics takes over 300 years to degrade in nature
  • Over 80% of bottled water is not recycled and ends up in landfill or worse as litter harming animals
  • Bottled water is expensive, tap water is free - buy a water bottle
  • No fluride in bottled water
  • No safety check by state authorities on bottled water whereas free tap water goes through vigorous safety testing
