Bottled water costs hundreds or thousands of times more than tap water.
	Most tap water is just as clean and safe as bottled water.
	The idea that all bottled water is "pure" is a marketing myth.
	Disposable plastic bottles can leach a chemical known as Bisphenol 3 into the water, the environment, and our own bloodstreams. In fact, evidence of BPA, which is known to disrupt the hormone system of humans, can now be found in approximately 95% of Americans!
	The Food and Drug Administration regulates only the 30 to 40 percent of bottled water sold across state lines - meaning most of the product you are drinking has not been inspected
	U.S. plastic bottle production requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil, enough to fuel 100,000 cars.

The bottom line is that the production of bottled water causes significant public health, and environmental problems. These include:

Taking water from communities that are depending on it for their own drinking purposes. Polluting the environment during the production of plastic. Contributing to global warming by transporting bottled water over great distances.
