The Real Cost of Bottled Water

The Real Cost of Bottled Water - DivineCaroline:

"The Environmental Law Foundation has sued eight bottlers for using words such as ‘pure’ to market water that contains bacteria, arsenic, and chlorine. Bottled water is no bargain either: It costs 240 to 10,000 times more than tap water. For the price of one bottle of Evian, a San Franciscan can receive 1,000 gallons of tap water. Forty percent of bottled water should be labeled bottled tap water because that is exactly what it is. But even that doesn’t dampen the demand."
