Say No to Bottled Water

Bottled water banned in major U.S. cities!
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pheonix, Chicago, and many more have recently jumped on the "Ban bottled water" wagon making it illegal to spend city dollars on bottled water.The realization that bottled water is seldom of higher quality than tap water has caused a major shift in public opinion. "It causes 60 million plastic bottles A DAY to be manufactured, transported and then disposed of in U.S. landfills, it's killing our planet, and for no good reason..." Eric Olsen, Natural Resources Defence Council.

Consumers typically buy bottled water under the misconception that it is safer, purer or healthier than tap water. Bottled water companies have spent "billions" to mislead consumers into thinking it's better.
Now the public is talking back and asking some very tough questions;
Is bottled water really better quality than tap?
How do you know the quality of your bottled water?
Is the cost and inconvenience of bottled water worth it?
Do you know bottled water is a #1 source of plastic pollution?
Are you aware most studies show bottled water quality to be the same or lower than tap water?
