Outside of specific cases of groundwater contamination, I've not heard

of anyone who thinks tap water is unsafe, just that it tastes inferior to bottled water. And I agree with that sentiment. But that's a good reason to get a filter pitcher or use the filtered water dispenser in your fridge, not a good reason for buying bottled water.

I know that I am a cynic. I don't believe anything. My radar is always up

In some ways it is even worse than just throwing it away...

I'm an environmentalist and plastic recycling is a scam
VT_NOVA • 04/15/24 10:40 AM ET
The best recycling is to avoid buying it in the first place.

But you don't have to consume Floride if you drink bottled water

No matter where they get it from, the quality is a silly idea

The solution is obvious

Just like e-Waste recycling
Vienna_Hokie • 04/15/24 11:11 AM ET
Yup, we've been paying a company to pick up our recyclables for years...

Sometimes small towns and budgets get to the root much faster

Recycling metals works, and is good.

The glass and plastic things are a balancing act
Vienna_Hokie • 04/15/24 10:30 AM ET
Burning plastic? Oh my, the CO2 emissions!
HokieJay • 04/15/24 10:38 AM ET
You know CO2 reprocessing facilities don't grow on trees...
hokiehunter07 • 04/15/24 03:55 PM ET
that's the point, if people separate it out, then less is being burned
