3. Good point...

But paying for something that is free sucks the most.

4. I would like to see more informed information about the

detremental effects of excessive consumption of bottled water...

"...the production of bottled water causes many equity, public health, and environmental problems. The big beverage companies often take water from municipal or underground sources that local people depend on for drinking water. Producing the plastic bottles uses energy and emits toxic chemicals. Transporting the bottled water across hundreds or thousands of miles spews carbon dioxide into the air, complicating our efforts to combat global climate change. And in the end, empty bottles are piling up in landfills"

2. Bottled water sucks in communities where the tap water is perfectly safe.

It's a lifesaver after a natural disaster or in areas where feces in the water is par for the course.

A few paragraphs to give people a taste of what's behind the link would probably encourage more people to investigate this subject matter.
