More on Water
Posted by DDOCS in Products, tags: Advertising, Crazy Products, debunking, Economy, Food, Litter, Marketing, StupidityYesterday was World Water Day. Did you celebrate? No, we didn’t either. But, water is a huge issue globally. Did you know that dirty water kills more people than violence? It’s true, according to the U.N.
We’re not a fan of bottled water, so it was great to find this. “The Story of Bottled Water” is by The Story of Stuff Project, and it should make you think twice about buying that next bottle of water.

We’ve talked about water more than a few times here on DDOCS. (See “Water, Water Everywhere” and “The Great Water Debate: Bottled vs. Tap“.) But this video, while slightly on the hippie side, makes it plain and simple: you’re a rube if you buy bottled water. Unless your community has proven unsafe tap water, purchasing water in plastic bottles is absurd.
Drink tap water and save the money. If you don’t like the taste of your city water, buy a filter.

oh it’s so easy to just buy a filter and drink tap water,is it? come to my city,where the water is so treated it smells like the public pool. sorry, but i’m sticking with bottled rather than pickle my innerds. some things don’t work for everyone.
@Bottlebabe: Thanks for reading and commenting on the blog.
If you don’t want to invest in a filter, my research says all you have to do is leave an open pitcher of tap water in your refrigerator for a day or two to remove the chlorine smell.
As a motivator, think of all the money you’ll save!
