Reply #70: Driven by people that choose to buy bottled water.

[bluestate10]

I am one that purchased bottled water and only drank that water source. I cooked with tap water. BTW, I purchased bottled water when the industry was in it's infancy and I had my choice in stores. The situation got to the point within the last two years where finding the bottled water that I wanted to buy, the distilled varieties, became a hassle because other buyers were buying out supplies and I was left with the flavored shit as the choices. I discovered that my tap water was delicious and now use that for all my water needs.

Pardon the long aside, my point is that no one is forcing people to buy bottled water. No one put a gun to my head when I stopped buying bottled water. Politician may ultimately try to privatize water supplies and allow their contributors to rake in money. But by keeping an eye on local politics and decisions, we as voters can prevent that result.
