I saw the article this morning on MarketWatch. People are funny, they fall for just about every fad in the book.
I hate plastic bottles and refuse to buy bottled water. I go bonkers when I see someone load up a cart of little plastic bottles that will only last them a week.
Recycle all you want but it's still a problem. Most of the so-called recycled plastic ends up in other countries like China and even they don't know what to do with all of it.
They don't want you to have a clean water supply because there's no money to be made. Those places that need a decent water system will never see one now.
Whoever thought that you'd be paying for water in a bottle? In Mexico it's cheaper to buy carbonated water (agua mineral) than to buy bottled water. Makes no sense other than a marketing ploy.
