  • TEN REASONS TO BOYCOTT BOTTLED WATER
  • Bottled water corporations have depleted aquifers in rural areas.
  • Plastic is an oil-derived product. It's imperative we reduce non-essential uses of oil.
  • Pollution produced and energy used in making plastic.
  • Energy used to transport finished product.
  • Health: toxins leach into water from plastic, especially if bottles sit in high temperatures.
  • Industry dominated by huge corporations like Nestle, Coke & Pepsi. Don't deserve support.
  • Water bottles clog landfills.
  • Municipal water systems in US are safe and usually good quality water.
  • Much bottled water is simply tap water
  • It identifies water as a commodity rather than a free, publicly available source of life. Capitalism attempts to commodify everything in order to make a profit on it.

38 million plastic water bottles a year made with 1.5 million barrels of oil. 85% of plastic bottles end up in landfills.
