It's not that simple. Yes, single use plastic water bottles are extremely bad for the environment and any effort to get rid of them is a good thing. But the "BPA" toxin stuff isn't really the issue the media makes it out to be. Check out this study for the real info: http://stats.org/stories/2009/science_suppressed_BPA_intro_jun12_09.html
Okay so I lived in Indonesia for two years and if we drank bottle water we'd be puking for 24 hours. The brown water showers after tremors wasn't so fun either. So I guess I'm not as picky. :)

What's so pathetic is the solution has been with us all along. Open cupboard. remove glass. Carry to sink. Lift faucet. Fill glass. Drink. DUH!
And the bottled water isn't any better for you than what's in the tap anyway -- according to some reports. Interesting stuff. Thanks, Kim.
On my recent vacation, I could taste nastiness in the bottled water. Yet I bought it anyway, thinking it MUST be better than the tap water.
