What’s wrong with bottled water?

What’s wrong with it:

1. the water is not necessarily better
2. fossil fuels and carbon footprint
3. plastic and downcycling
4. the entire use-it-once-and-throw-it-“away” mentality

And there’s more …

• read about how bottled water companies are stripping water resources from our mountain ecosystems (Sierra Club pdf)

What you can do …

• use reusable containers (carry your own mess kit).
  • don’t get distracted by the dizzying array of water bottles for sale. remember that’s runaway consumption too! you only need one, and you can make do with something as simple as a mason jar.
• use tapwater (unless you know for sure that location’s tapwater is polluted)
