Here's one for all of you unfortunate people who are unaffected by the other posts about how ridiculous bottled water is when you consider the environment and other people's lives.
If you drink the recommended 64 ounces of water a day and all of that water comes from bottled water, that is approximately 700 litres/year. Now, if you buy the cheapest case of water that I have been told is out there (4.99/24) that works out to $332/year on bottled water. A brita filter and a nalgene bottle would cost you a mere $32.
Thats $300 you would have to spend on other shit!! Doesn't seem like much? Over the course of 60 years that works out to $18,000 extra that you spent for something that is free. In my mind, that would be like paying $18,000 for the snow outside and I don't think anyone would argue that makes any sense!
