The Bottled Water Scam
This is a great opinion piece - you really spell out perfectly the reasons why wee need to get off of the bottled water wagon.
The thing that really blows my mind is that people just don't know about this yet. Just this weekend I went to the Gilroy Garlic Festival and brought my Klean Kanteen to fill up with since it was supposed to be close to 100 degrees out in the sun. I went up to one of the information booths and asked where I could go fill mine up and was told "We don't have anywhere you can fill up your water bottle, but we do sell water." I told her I didn't want to but water but thanks, to which she replied "But It's only $2!"
Needless to say, I was flabbergasted I know i live in this amazing bubble called San Francisco where everyone, even if they still buy and drink bottled water knows about the downsides and environmental concerns. Here was a woman who, in this day and age, thought my only problem with buying a bottle is that it would set me back $2! How can we spread the word?

I hear you! Society does not make it easy for people who care about the environment to do what we feel is necessary to be earth conscious. I get very frustrated myself sometimes, however one of the best ways to get others to become aware is through people speaking out, such as yourself.
Of course it's easy to put out the $2 for the bottled water, it's more of an effort to bring your own. Keep voicing your concerns in every forum you can to start the discussion. It's the only way!
Thanks for your comment.
