Along with the fossil fuels burned and greenhouse gases burned, making/ moving a 1-kg bottle of water uses 6.74 kg of water. Traces of Bisphenol-A have been found in almost every American tested for it. The average cost of a bottle of water is 2,000 times that of tap water. Over 26,000,000,000 bottles of water are sold in North America each year, with 86% going into landfills. 1,500 are discarded every second.
Um, yeah…
