Anyone realize that bottled water, in plastic bottles, shipped on boats and trucks using alot of fossile fuels, and then not recycled in our landfills is actually hurting the environment?

I'm an Republican Environmentalist (yes I know that's an oxymoron), but in this case it make sence to use filtered tap water instead of buying the expensive (more than gasoline - or petrol for our Brit friends), water.

Just my suggestion to help the environment.

P.S. Drink beer instead.

Don't breathe air! When you exhale you release carbon dioxide.

ZOMG environments.

Judging from the quality of the replies thus far I'd swear this was the junk drawer.

Over here most bottled water is tap water, and most cities have recycling programmes which take water bottles as part of their weekly collection.

I'll buy a bottle, keepm refilling it from the tap until the bottle goes to shit, then chuck it out and repeat the process.

you realize global warming is a joke?
and also some places like viet nam or phillipines drinking tap water is probably suicidal.
p.s. did i mention global warming is a joke?

but no no no seriously I do reuse my plastic bags and plastic waters bottles; if i have to much i always resell it back to the bottle collectors who do claim they are recycling it -so hey i did my part. but i so totally for cutting dowm more trees.

I'm obviously going to go with the 'drink more beer instead' idea. But hey, that's just me.

I sunburn more easily now in my state than I did 20 years ago, but the exact causes of global climate change are still up for debate.

Based on the replies so far no matter what we do we are fucked, mostly because people have proved they are morons.

I recycle bottled water bottles. As expensive as they are, it's still cheaper than Gatorade, and tastes better than tap water.

Even if you don't care about the environment, don't buy bottled water in western countries, it's all bullsh*t.

Fuck you, I like bottling tap water, and there's nothing ELSE to do with my squash bottles when I empty them.

Lmfao

Just about everything is shipped on boats and trucks using fossil fuels and is non-biodegradable.
Why don't we try and remove the fossil fuel bit and the non-biodegradable bit instead.

The problem needs to be tackled head on.

The only water i would ever drink is bottled flavoured water.
I hate tap water, i hate normal water, i dislike the taste.

Coke liked bottling tap water too. They called it Dasani and sold it in shops.
