I have had a long-time dislike of bottled water, because it is wasteful, expensive, and is an industry that causes more pollution than needed. Paying for this convenience is terribly expensive, in more ways than the cost of the bottle at $2.00.
Your tap water is monitored, regulated and checked. Bottled water frequently has less regulation, but then a good portion of bottled water comes from the tap, anyway.
Do you know where your bottled water comes from? Do you realize where your plastic bottles end up? Do you know what it costs to make the bottles, fill the bottles, transport the bottles, advertise the product, etc? Watch this video if you have been thinking about any of this.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
