Do you love bottled water? If so then you’re just like most other Americans since we consume over 25 BILION LITERS per year!

While sales of bottled water have exploded in recent years, you may be surprised to learn that water from bottles is not necessarily cleaner or safer than water from your tap.

The United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world, and public water suppliers must provide an annual report to customers on drinking water quality. Those reports are available from the water supplier or by visiting the Environmental Protection Agency’s website at www.epa.gov.Still, the United States far and away leads the world in total consumption of bottled water, at more than 25 billion liters!! If people are drinking bottled water as an alternative to sugary fizzy drinks, that’s probably a good thing for public health. But if your tap water is just as good, why pay THOUSANDS of times more of your your hard earned money for water that contributes to global warming, fills our landfills with toxic waste, and is really just one big farce! By a home filter and reusable water bottle if you must, but PLEASE, PLEASE stop the madness of bottled water!

I made the switch to Klean Kanteen’s a couple months ago after reading blogs like this and this one http://tinyurl.com/qbmzxv about how harmful bottled water really is. I had been using a PUR water jug in the fridge and just filling up old water bottles to bring with me but now I’ve canned that and have been using my Klean and love it and the feeling that I’m helping the environment!
