The facts are very clear

Bottled Water Production & Use In The U.S.:

Uses 17 million barrels of oil per year to manufacture the plastic bottles.
Causes the release of over 2.5 million TONs of CO2 gases from manufacturing the plastic.
Uses over 10 million barrels of oil annually to transport or deliver bottles of water.
It takes 3 times as much water to produce the bottle than it does to fill it.
Causes over 60,000,000 plastic bottles a day to go into U.S. landfills!

All plastic bottles leach chemicals into the water at some level.

Plastic was invented 144 years ago and over 98% of all plastic ever produced still exists today. It is estimated that it takes 300- 500 years for plastic to biodegrade. With the current growth in the use and disposal of plastic, it is only a matter of time until we choke our planet with a layer of plastic.

Municipal water systems are aging. Environmentalists are castigating the makers of bottled water -- and the people who buy it -- for defiling the environment with plastic. All told, it is a great time to be selling water filters and reusable bottles.

Question: Is bottled water or filtered water better?
Answer: While much bottled water is of good quality, there are little or no regulations or means of ensuring bottled water quality... it is a self-policed industry for the most part. In contrast, the home water treatment industry is very heavily regulated. Manufacturers must do extensive testing and reporting to prove their products effectiveness at providing quality water. Manufacturers are required to supply "Performance Data Sheets" demonstrating the products ability to remove certain contaminants; bottled water companies are not required to demonstrate their waters quality.

Bottled water, once an icon of a healthy lifestyle, has become a pariah, the environmentally incorrect humvee of beverages… The environmental impact of 60,000,000 plastic bottles being produced, transported and disposed of every day in the U.S. from bottled water use is staggering and serves little or no purpose…
