Comments on: Water – bottled or tap? http://www.sustainabletable.org/2008/01/water-%e2%80%93-bottled-or-tap/ Sustainable Table Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:02:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Denise Stevens http://www.sustainabletable.org/2008/01/water-%e2%80%93-bottled-or-tap/#comment-255948 Denise Stevens Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:03:52 +0000 http://sustainabletable.org/?p=1213#comment-255948 Stop buying corporate water, it is bad for the environment, it takes 8 gallons to make one, and it is toxic. The only solution is to make your own healthy water. The website www.ReverseAgingWater.com offers a variety of water machines that turn ordinary tap water into life giving healing water full of natural anti-oxidants and oxygen, and nuetralizes disease causing acid in the body. Water that naturally balances the bodies PH, that is very important to avoid disease and age related illness. Re-Use and Refill, save your health and the environment at the same time. Stop getting ripped off by these bottling companies and take control of your own water supply.

While the reverse osmosis filter may be the best, it requires a third line for the water that comes through the filter. The regular inlines while not as perfect, filter ALL your cold water. What frightens me, is that these water companies are making so much money, they are in some places actually trying to buy the water service to the towns. (And cash strapped municipalities are entertaining it). I fear the day that the water to my home comes from Dasani. (or Aquafina, or whatever, I am not picking on one of them) We went with the inline water filter to the sink.

Thanks for the links. One point - you stat that 'none of us should have to pay for water'. I know you are referring to buying it in bottles, but I wanted to point out that we all should pay for water even if it comes out of a tap. Paying for the true cost of our resources is important - it adds value and promotes conscious use. The cost of fixing aging pipes and infrastructure on a regular basis should be incorporated into the pricing structure, too. Thanks for your informative blog.
