Stop buying bottled water (unless yours is unsafe to drink.) In many cases bottled water is from a municipal source and there's nothing exotic about it. Bottled water is a scam! If your tap water is bad you can always get a filter or drill a well.

The bottled water industry also contributes to our country's oil consumption: Plastic bottles are made from oil. Water is very heavy and thus a truck trailer full of bottled water on pallets is about a capacity load by weight - making it one of the greatest fuel-consuming loads that is regularly transported in this country.

Giving up bottled water will not only save you money, it will also help reduce this country's oil consumption.
