Bottled water is perhaps the biggest con on the planet and potentially one of the biggest polluters.

I agree with you, John. Many bottlers simply use TAP WATER, filter it a bit more, then sell it at a premium price. Aquafina, for example, is drawn from the municipal water supplies of Detroit, Fresno, and other cities. [

When will people realise what a rip-off bottled water is?? It's not significantly better than tap water, and it's a disaster for the environment!

Fill a reusable bottle at home. Please.

This is a good start. I normally do not buy bottled water and only when I am out and about and run out of my home recycled plastic bottle of water do I resort to this. I either recycle the bottles for a charity to fund an animal shelter in my neighborhood or reuse the bottles at home. Many school and other charity organizations now take items to the recycle center and obtain a small amount of money in return to fund their schools/groups, so I take my recyclables to them now to help them out.

Perhaps there are groups like this where you live and it would help others out and help keep the planet healthier at the same time.

As they should. This is very good news for Australia, and hopefully a trend for the world.
