I would never purchase single bottles of water - but we do get the 5 gal. bottles delivered and then we fill up our Sigg bottles. Can you recommend a good RO water filtration system? We had an under the counter one once but when we tested the water before and after, all it really changed was chlorine by a small amount!

I now get spa mineral water from the spouts at Carlsbad Spa for 50 cents a gallon... and, yes I do believe in avoiding tap water - the water district just about a year ago began adding fluoride to the water supply - BIG no-no. Even though it was originally thought to be a good idea to prevent tooth decay - as a topical rinse - it is now widely known that ingestion of fluoride has many dangerous health consequences... our bodies are mostly made of water - please be vigilant about the water you drink and the water you shower and bathe in!

There has been times when I was on the road and in desperate need of something to drink and being able to quickly stop at a mini-mart and grab a bottle of water saves me from killing over. I recycle any and everything, though I know the average person does not. We would have less of a plastic issue if people would have. Anyway unless they put drinking fountains everywhere so I can fill up my reusable bottle, bottled water still has somewhat of a place. It would help if people would think beyond themselves and convenience and recycle and not buy bottled water to drink on a daily basis.
