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.

I agree, but you can't argue with the convenience of having serving size bottles ready to put in the cooler for a day on the water.
