Would You Quit Drinking Bottled Water?

One of my pet peeves is my wife buying bottled water, even though we live in one of the more pristine areas of the world.

Vancouver is planning on launching a marketing campaign aimed at getting more people to turn on the tap when they’re thirsty, Vancouver Coun. Tim Stevenson said.

That’s a better way than a new enviro-tax to get you to change your ways…

When you buy water here, you pay a deposit and a recycling fee. (What’s the difference you ask? Good question). That alone should be enough to make you at least refill your bottles.


You’re paying as much for bottled water as gas… skip the Smart car and drink tap water.

Amen. It's time to say bye-bye to bottled plastic water when they're perfectly drinkable tap H2O coming from our own faucets.
