2. • Did you know that we spend almost $110
dollars a year on bottled water? That doesn’t
seem like a lot, but in the end it is, especially
when what we are getting is something that is
essential to life and merely free, right our of
our own faucet!
3. • I know what you’re thinking, “Yuck I’m not
drinking fucking faucet water that’s disgusting!”
But did you know that a quarter of the bottled
water purchased is simply filtered tap water??
60-70 percent of it is exempt from FDA standards.
It is basically the same thing as filtered faucet
water. Don’t be fooled by fancy advertising and
common ignorance! Also, don’t be
contradictory, this is the same water most of us
use for our pets, our they any different than us??
4. Okay, So why is it evil then? You’re just
some crazy hippie..
• Yes. True. But really,
making one small
choice can help a lot
in the long run. Here
is the TRUTH about
bottled water…
5. We move almost 40,000 18-
wheelers worth of water around the
country every week–a tremendous
waste of energy resources.
• You think about making your trip
to the store to pick up your
water, but do you think about the
journey your water has made
previous to that? It could have
come from all the way across the
country! Or even Canada! What
about the plastic? Where did that
come from? It didn’t fly here! It
took gasoline at some point, that’s
just more pollution we don’t need
to put in your air!
6. Plastic, it’s fucking shit. Just trust me on this one.
That’s a whole nother presentation in itself; but for
now..
• It takes three times the water in a bottle to
produce the bottle and fill it. That’s just to make
the bottle. So really when you’re drinking one
water bottle you’ve wasted three. Wasteful selfish
Americans, and you wonder why we have such a
bad wrap. You’re probably saying who cares!?
Clean water shouldn’t be taken for granted! There
are people who don’t have any.

8. • I’m sure by now you are sick of my rant. I could
go on forever, because the simple fact is,
bottled water is not all its chalked up to be. We
are so set in our ways and comfortable that we
are afraid to make a change and will find silly
excuses not to. If you don’t care for my hippie
bullshit that’s fine, but just give me a chance
to persuade you in the same way the big
bottled water companies do, pretty pictures..

13. So Before you go and open up
a new water bottle and
unconsciously toss yours in
the recycling, stop! KEEP your
old bottle and simply fill it up
again! One small gesture can
go a long way!
