Were you conscious of marketing? Do you know the amount of money companies make from bottled water?<BR/><BR/>-if you are concerned about your water quality, have you had it tested? Most municipalities will test your water for free.<BR/> <BR/>-are you aware that the chemicals that come from the plastic bottles have the potential to cause you and your little ones far greater harm than the minerals from the tap?<BR/><BR/>-did you know that if you let tap water sit for a few minutes prior to drinking it, most of the smells/tastes evaporate?<BR/><BR/>Let's just bring full awareness to each of our actions, including the long term impact for ourselves and future generations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500315.post-88014530661524674812007-07-12T14:46:00.000-04:002007-07-12T14:46:00.000-04:00"Our water in San Francisco comes from the Hetch H..."<I>Our water in San Francisco comes from the Hetch Hetchy [reservoir] and is some of the most pristine water on the planet.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Plenty of large cities like NYC or DC could use the same argument for banning cars: <I>Our <B>Public Transportation</B> in New York City is some of the most <B>reliable and efficient public transportation</B> on the planet.</I><BR/><BR/>Where does it end?

Ahhh!! Yessss!! I feel like a new person--So free! Soooo freeeeeeee! Sorry. Had to. I have been drinking almost nothing but bottled water since Landon was born. I buy the big Deer Park gallon jugs for the most part, so maybe that's a little less plastic used?? Not sure on that one--This one's going to take some thought and research---I always see warnings in the news about this state's tap water or that state's tap water being dangerous or contaminated. It scares me to think about inadvertently poisoning my baby (or putting unwanted chemicals into him) just to give him a glass of water. Paranoid? Ummm, usually. I'm a better to be safe than sorry kind of girl--not so much a devil-may-care adventurer--LOL. I'll keep my bottled water for now, thank you very much! (High five, Sharon! Bad to the bone!)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036264104450175553noreply@blogger.com
