This is crazy. I can't believe that people are against bottled water.
Concerns about the bottled-water industry, and increasing corporate control of water, are growing across the country," said Gigi Kellett, director of the "Think Outside the Bottle" campaign, which aims to encourage people to drink tap water.San Francisco's mayor banned city employees from using city funds to buy bottled water when tap water is available. Ann Arbor, Michigan passed a resolution banning commercially bottled water at city events and Salt Lake City, Utah asked department heads to eliminate bottled water.
Of course, these people want you to spend your money on their city water. It all comes down to economics. If you are spending money on Aquafina, you aren't spending it on public water.
I think it's funny that they complain about people drinking too much sugary soda, so we drink water and they complain about that.
I drink tap water at home because I have a well and it tastes good. If I go to the office or somewhere where city water is involved I buy bottled water because I don't like my water to taste like a swimming pool.
Plus where are these city employees supposed to fill their glasses? From water fountains? From the sinks in bathrooms where we wash our hands?
I also looked at the group behind this all. Think outside the bottle or as their website name is , stop corporate abuse. This group is a bunch of socialist anti-capitalist thugs who want to control our lives by increasing government regulation and United Nations Intervention.
Come on, get a clue people.
