>If you think about it, bottled water is the ultimate bullshit product. We put a freely occurring natural element in a plastic bottle, and create an object with the absolute worst utility-to-cost ratio. The object utility ends the moment you drink all the water, the plastic will stay as a residue for thousands years. Oh my! I have been telling people just this. The sheer number of people who consume and throw this needlessly created packages is baffling. We have figured out water and its sanitation for most of the cases now. Just carrying a reusable bottle with water from home, and refilling potable water from sources you trust would save the environment from a lot of empty bottles. I would not say everyone can do this. But a lot of us can do this. Besides the bottles with less than a litre capacity are the worst.
