Today I discovered that bottled water by Pepsi Cola (Aquafina) and Coca Cola (Dasani) are actually from municipal sources! It’s pretty much like buying water that’s filtered by a Brita or Pur system. I always thought bottled water was from the springs of the mountains throughout the world, which is partly true for some bottled water distributors, but not all are. Drinking from the tap is usually unheard of in some places, and for me, I usually drink bottled water when I’m on the go, but when I’m home I drink from the filter.
I know this isn’t an environmental blog but I’m starting to feel really bad because when I go to the gym I bring a bottle of water with me and when I’m finish I toss it in the trash. There aren’t even any recycling bins there! Now I’m thinking about how many bottles of water are to be recycled only to read that Americans go through 100 millions of plastic bottles every day and roughly recycle 25% of them! That is insane! In some places in the world it’s probably safer to drink water bottles, and for your health you should, but if I think if you can drink the water from the tap or filter, you should.
I definitely need to get one of those gym water bottles.
