Guess what the second most popular beverage after soft drinks in America is? You guessed it, bottled water. It wasn't always this way though. The last decade has brought a wave of marketing campaigns that has convinced us about the purity and superior taste of bottled water. Is this purity and taste really worth the worth the 1000% markup bottled water is over tap water? The extreme markup is not the only negative surrounding our bottled water obsession. Only about 10% of plastic water bottles are recycled. According to container-recycling.org, 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away and incinerated each day!
I am aware of people's concerns with chlorine, fluoride and other impurities in the municipal water supply. I just can't get over the extreme markup and waste issues with bottled water. You can save tons of money by using refillable water bottles and investing in a good water filter instead of paying the 1000% markup for bottled water.
