Manufacturing 31.2 billion liter bottles requires 900,000 tons of plastic, = 17 million + barrels of oil, and emit 2.5 million + tons of carbon dioxide. 86% aren't recycled and it takes three liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water.

I never drink bottled water; never have. What a stupid waste of resources and money.

We drink filtered water. Was too cheap to use bottled water and glad we didn't.

The finest water, comes strait from the ground, already filtered and full of oxygen, to keep it tasting fresh. Plastic bottles are a definite no for my family. If you have a spring near you try it, you will not taste anything like it. Crystal clear and Ice cold. Thank you Father for our precious Water Amen

I too never drink or drank bottled water. I already pay for the water I drink, though I am not happy that I have to pay for what should be free. So I will not pay another penny for water even more so in a bottle.
