Did you know, aside from the fact that buying plastic water bottles is more convenient, it's also much more expensive? Sure, you look at your utility bill and decide that you shouldn't use as much electricity or run as much water. Bottled water, then, is surely the way to go...right?
Wrong.
The same article referenced in the last post, the treehugger.com article (which can be found here), also mentions that bottled water is 1000 times more expensive than tap water. So your utility bill is high this month - with those two 24-packs of bottled water, your groceries cost you anywhere from 3-8 dollars more than they needed to...and that's just a rough estimate.
Get this: drinking 2 liters of tap water every single day only costs you about fifty cents over a year.
Fifty cents.
Now think of all that money you're wasting on plastic bottles that just go into a landfill when you could just as easily buy a filter for your faucet or a Brita pitcher for the same price as a few weeks of water bottles. Or, if you're a brave one...how about just drinking tap water straight from the tap? I tend to do that, anyway.
And when you take a sip of that tap water you've always shunned...just think about all the money you'll save over your lifetime by making that one little switch from plastic bottles to the washable glasses in your kitchen cabinet.
Yeah, I went there.
