Now that we know how costly, unnecessary, and potentially harmful bottled water is, and why we wouldn't want to put our own water in a plastic water bottle (especially #7 plastic), let's actually talk about the three previously mentioned alternatives to drinking bottled water out of plastic bottles.
In the last post we talked about the dangers of drinking bottled water. Now that we know why to never again put the neurotoxin filled petroleum-derived containers to our lips, let's talk about what alternatives exist. There are three pretty effective ways to do this. Two of them are easy and inexpensive, the other is a little more involved and will cost a little bit on the front end.
But before we talk about how to get clean and fresh tasting water at home, we have to talk about what we're going to put it in.
What cost more per gallon than gasoline? The answer is bottled water! This time last year earth-policy.org published an article stating, "The global consumption of bottled water reached 154 billion liters (41 billion gallons) in 2004, up 57 percent from the 98 billion liters consumed five years earlier. Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy. Although in the industrial world bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to 10,000 times more. At as much as $2.50 per liter ($10 per gallon), bottled water costs more than gasoline."
