The True Cost of Bottled Water

Here and there you hear about the waste involved in producing and supplying bottled water, but I had no idea of the actual figures.  The cost per gallon is the most amazing (I really like standardized measures). Having lived in a few places where I didn’t have drinkable water really helped me appreciate how incredible the water coming out of our faucets actually is; we shouldn’t take it for granted (or give more money to Coke and Pepsi).
