What Is The Real Cost Of Bottled Water?
2008-05-05 21:59:00 As John McCain and Hillary Clinton tell Americans tales of a gas tax holiday to relieve us of a whole 20 cents per gallon this summer (we?re paying more than four dollars anyway) it?s probably worth discussing one of the other reasons that gas is so darn expensive? Of course, the reason is demand. Although developing countries such as China and India take the blame, there are other forces at work. Bottled water for example, which despite being past its peak, consumes roughly 17 million barrels of oil every year, not including transportation. The worst part of it is that that?s not even half the problem. In addition to the 17 million barrels of oil (equivalent to just under the GDP of the Cayman Islands at today?s prices) used in production, bottled water consumes gallons and gallons of water. Three gallons of the wet stuff is required to produce one gallon of what you will happily pay a dollar for, largely because of the length and complexity of the various ?purification? processes...

Chicago's Bottled Water Tax Confounds Liberals. . .
2008-04-04 18:20:00 Liberals confused as their plan to raise revenues from higher taxes on bottled water fails. From the Chicago Sun Times: Are Chicagoans trekking to the suburbs to buy cases of bottled water -- and avoid a new nickel-a-container tax that adds $1.20 to the price of a 24-pack? Or are they making the switch to tap water to save money? One or the other is happening. Maybe both. Revenues from... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story.

Bottled Water Gets Bashed Again
2008-02-19 07:24:00 Apparently the UK Government is comparing bottled water to cigarettes as an immoral cancer on society. Drinking bottled water should be made as unfashionable as smoking, according to a government adviser."We have to make people think that it's unfashionable just as we have with smoking. We need a similar campaign to convince people that this is wrong," said Tim Lang, the Government's naural resources commissioner. Bottled water generates up to 600 times more C02 than tap waterPhil Woolas, the environment minister, added that the amount of money spent on mineral water "borders on being morally unacceptable".Their comments come as new research shows that drinking a bottle of water has the same impact on the environment as driving a car for a kilometre. Conservation groups and water providers have started a campaign against the Ł2 billion industry.This is utter bollocks. Cigarettes kill and maim millions of people worldwide. I am not sure the same could be said of bottled water. I l...

The Hidden Truth Of Bottled Water
2008-01-03 13:40:00 Source: www.sierraclub.org/cac/water/bo-ttled_water | http://www.allaboutwater.orgIt?-s an amazing fad, one of the most successful advertising hypes in recent history. Advertising for bottled water suggests that drinking water in plastic can make you thin, sexy, healthy, affluent, and environmentally responsible. Water bottles have become a fashion accessory. These ideas have a source, and it?s not a mountain spring. Giant multinational companies like Nestle, Coke, and Pepsi are making a fortune on bottled water. In the U.S. a sip of bottled water costs on average 1,000 times a sip of water from the tap. But it?s not just about the money. Environmental Justice.In Michigan, Nestle received $9.6 million in tax breaks to site their Ice Mountain bottled water plant in Mecosta County. Yet in Detroit more than 20,000 families have had their water shut off because of inability to pay their water bills when the state refused to provide a subsidy. How do such policies measure up to the United...

Mainly I get it if I am out and not near home to get a drink of water. If I am out walking or exercising and don't have a water source near by. Is bottled water a rip off? The short answer is yes. There is nothing great about it. The only thing that is great about it is how it has been marketed. They tell us it is the best thing that we can get. It is something we all should drink.

Could portable oxygen be the next bottled water?
2007-11-20 17:29:00 Ever since you were born, you?ve been breathing oxygen for free, right? Well the masters of mundane marketing agree that it is time for you to adjust your thinking. Yes, you can breathe air for free; but how lame would that be? Naturally occurring oxygen is just so 10,000 years ago. It?s time for you to begin breathing more pure, more refreshing oxygen. Yes,the world's most essential element is making a fashionable comeback. This time, in a can. And Oxygen Plus, a new company, is leading the way by providing 95% pure oxygen-enriched air that is portable, safe, natural and easy to use anywhere, anytime. My husband and I recently tried O+ and felt the immediate effects; but not for long. It won't make you light headed, but it won't make you run faster either. Somewhere in the middle ground between those two extremes lies the benefit gained from the oxygen in Oxygen Plus. In fact, the benefits of a few blasts of O+ may actually be more psychological than genuinely physical, bu...

Bottled water tax on tap?
2007-08-17 11:48:00 Chicago should cash in on the bonanza of bottled water sales -- and help clean up the environment -- by slapping a tax of 10 to 25 cents on the cost of every bottle, a Southwest Side alderman said Monday. At a time when Chicagoans are bracing for post-election tax increases to close a $217 million budget gap, Ald. George Cardenas (12th) said he can think of no better or more lucrative idea to add to the menu than a bottled water tax. "People enjoy jogging or driving with a bottle of water. There's a cost associated with this behavior. You have to pay for it," said Cardenas, one of Mayor Daley's staunchest City Council supporters.
