(source: Fastcompany.com) Over 15 billion per year...<br />Supposedly we're spending 100 billion a year on bottled water. Seems like a lot... about what Americans spent on cocaine in the 1980's in a typical year. <br /><br />Supposedly it takes 17 million barrels of oil to make the bottles for a year's worth of bottled water. (Not sure of what percentage of each barrel is diverted to this purpose... am guessing napthenes and benzenes and other things are also extracted ... but not sure of details.)<br />anyways... <br />thanks for the comment.<br />e.Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-48562450268386997462009-07-28T14:27:14.639-05:002009-07-28T14:27:14.639-05:00That was fun to read.

You don't have to wash it when you are done and you can toss it in the car when you are headed out. I do this knowing that my well water is probably cleaner, and better for me, but I still drink bottled water at least once a week.Jonathan Thralowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060897901415511562noreply@blogger.com
