I found this on Huffington Post and think it’s a great break down of all the reasons to stop buying bottled water. Whoever thought this up points out an interesting vicious cycle that goes a little bit like this: Tap water tastes bad and is sometimes of questionable quality partially because the government lacks funds and power to fix aging municipal water systems–> People drink the tap water and decide it tastes bad so they (the affluent in particular) begin to buy bottled water regularly–>In consuming bottled water, they no longer need to deal with bad-tasting water and do not take action to pass bills which would improve water quality–>water continues to taste bad because no one cares enough to address the problem.
