c9Buying Bottled Water is Wrong, says David Suzuki.
Why?
Kitchener's tap water is pretty hard and mineral-filled, but it's still not that bad really. Not as good as Halifax though. :)
Why?
- energy used to capture, ionize, reverse-osmosis-ize, bottle, ship, and then drive home from the store.
- plastics contain toxic chemicals which a recent study showed can leech into the water
- in some jurisdictions, there are more laws protecting tap water than there are protecting bottled water
