Comments on: Will Fiji Water Be Around in 2012? http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/blogs/will-fiji-water-be-around-in-2012/ The latest blogs from Food and Water Watch Wed, 23 May 2012 15:16:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: spencer http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/blogs/will-fiji-water-be-around-in-2012/#comment-4171 spencer Tue, 17 May 2011 13:22:49 +0000 http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/?p=29210#comment-4171 Bottled water is a healthy alternative to carbonated soft drinks, and other sugared, artificially sweetened, and preservative laced beverages. It is a convenience item most of the time, taking much of its growth from soft drinks. The impacts of bottled water on the environment are a diversion to the impact of all plastics in consumer goods. Does anyone pay attention to how many zip loc bags get used on a daily basis AND do not get recycled? Almost 33% of bottled water containers are recylced. Lastly, tap water isn't great. Google yourself contaminents in tap water, and you'll soon learn there are a host of impurities in tap water including pharmaceuticals, Chromium 6, etc. If you want to ingest unhealthy, or impurity ridden foods and beverages, you are free to do so. Let those who want something better exist in peace. Bottled water is a healthy alternative to carbonated soft drinks, and other sugared, artificially sweetened, and preservative laced beverages.

We don't wish ill on anyone but seriously, the impacts of bottled water on the environment are enormous and have gone on long enough. We need to stop buying bottled water from fiji as well as others. The consumer ultimately decides who is in business and who is not. Tap water is great! There are a host of grocers who allow you to refill bottles and purchase water in the event you require filtered or reverse osmosis, etc...
