banning the sale of bottled waterWhy anyone buys bottle water is beyond me. You complain about the price of gasoline. What you pay a dollar for is worth maybe a tenth of a penny or less. Buy a reusable screw top bottle and fill it with tap water. By purchasing bottled water you are consuming the oil required for that plastic, you are taking up space in the dump for that never degrading plastic and you are depriving yourself of the fluoride in city water systems used to to protect your teeth.
Buying bottled water is about the dumbest thing you can do on a daily basis.
Yeah, well..you never tasted the water in my town. It is lake water passed through a coffee filter. yuk.
ReplyDeleteTap water tastes like ass and varies with the tap/water fountain.
ReplyDeleteA better choice would be to offer fill up stations (a quarter maybe) of clean, decent tasting water where the customer provides the bottle.
Or the university can pay for decent filter systems on their water fountains.
I buy gallon jugs of water and bring them to work. Less plastic but the water tastes great, I stay hydrated and I don't have to drink the yellow water that comes out of my classroom tap. Also, you'ld be surprised what a science teacher can do gallon jugs.
You unwittingly mentioned the REAL issue in the next to last sentence..The FLOURIDE!?!?!?! Don't you know what that does to your Brain???? You just look at any graph of the incidence of ADD,Autism, Fibroymyalgia, you'll notice they all start around 1946, coincidentally, the same year Flouridation was started on a widespread basis..
ReplyDeleteyes, and it was also statistically obvious in areas in the country where the natural fluoride level was orders of magnitude higher than what is added to my drinking water that they had all those diseases in spades before the rest of us... Oh wait, no it wasn't ;)
ReplyDeleteI was interested to learn not long ago that water fluoridation actually involves the removal of fluoride in many places.
You don't understand: the water is free. They charge $1 for the bottle to hold the water. Standard marketing gimmick.
