People have been bottling water for thousands of years, except that back then it wasn't in plastic bottles, and they weren't for commercial use. The first time someone bottled water for commercial purposes, was in 1583, somewhere in Belgium. It was sold to no less than king Henri II of France himself!

What is bad about bottled water?
Bottled water isn't itself 'bad' but the plastic on the bottle does dissolve eventually, so you can drink bottled water when it's relatively fresh, but after a long time (such as a year, six months, etc.) I wouldn't recommend it.

How many wheels are put into landfills?
Over 60,000,000 plastic bottles a day are disposed of in U.S. landfills from bottled water use. Other than the direct impact of 30 billion plastic bottles a year being disposed of in U.S. landfills alone, bottled water negatively impacts our environment in many other ways. 17 billion barrels of oil are used each year to produce the 30 billion plastic bottles, producing some 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution. It takes three times the amount of water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it. Not to mention the pollution from transporting heavy loads of bottled water all over the World!

Why should you use reusable water bottles?
The reputation of bottled water is lying bleeding in the gutter, which probably isn't a bad thing.While the product certainly does have its place, disposable plastic water bottles have become a blight on the planet due to the levels of consumption of bottled water products.The plastic in disposable water bottles http://wiki.answers.com/articles/187/1/Recycling-by-the-numbers.html, but where there is no deposit system such as we have in South Australia, the majority of the bottles wind up in landfill.According to statistics from the International Bottled Water Association, in 2000 Americans consumed 4.7 billion gallons of bottled water, which represented less than 9 percent of total beverage consumption. By 2008 bottled water consumption increased to almost 8.7 billion gallons.However, after the bad press bottled water received regarding plastic waste and water quality a couple of years back, an interesting thing took place.In 2007, Americans were drinking on average 29.0 gallons of bottled water a year; a 5.3% increase on the previous year. In 2008, that had dropped to 28.5 gallons; a drop of 1.8% and the first drop in over a decade.The International Bottled Water Association acknowledges that environmental concerns may have played a role in the drop.People didn't stop drinking water, so what happened?Refillable water bottles did.Aside from the environmental benefits of using a refillable water bottle, I ran some quick calculations for my article "http://wiki.answers.com/blogs/459/Is-water-too-cheap.htmlwater too cheap?" and found that the water we get from our taps here in Australia costs about USD 0.4 cents per gallon. I have only ever bought one bottle of water a few months back and that quart cost a few bucks!With the addition of a home water filter, you can have water as good, if not better than many bottled water brands - as some of the bottled water brands pull their water directly from municipal supplies and at times don't even bother filtering it.

Is tap water and toilet water the same?
Some bottled waters are pretty much the same as tap water. The main advantage of bottled water is that it doesn't have chlorine as does tap water. But now there's evidence that the plastic that contains most bottled water emits toxic chemicals....This chemical is a chemical that is known to cause a rare type of Alzheimer's disease so be careful. I recommend you drink tap water, it may have chlorine but it might be better for you than bottled water.edit:::Millions and millions of dollars are spent each week on advertising Ideas and/or discussions to give people the main idea that bottled water comes from some far away mountain spring or an underground aquifer, assuring purity and quality. However, the fact is that bottled water is oftentimes little more than just tap water in a bottle may sometimes be worse.You see, the federal regulations that govern bottled water require it to be only as good as tap water, not better. There are no regulations or requirements that bottled water are any higher in quality than tap water, and according to some recent studies, it may often be of lower quality.The fact is that people pay from $1 to $4 a gallon for the perception of higher quality, when in fact the quality of bottled water is at best unknown. Over 90% of the cost of bottled water is in the bottle lid and label.The bottled water industry is full of deception and questionable ethics. Industry lobbyists successfully fight every year to keep bottled water companies from having to abide by even the minimal health standards set by the EPA for tap water. City tap water, from surface water, must be filtered and disinfected. In contrast, there are no federal filtration or disinfections requirements for bottled water. Most cities using dsurface water have had to test for (Cryptosporidium) or (Guardia), two common water (pathogens) that can cause diarrhea and other intestinal problems even though bottled water companies do not have to do this.Filtering out the chlorine, lead and other contaminants at the point of use, just prior to consumption, is really the only way to know for sure about the quality of your water. And when you factor in the benefits of lower cost, convenience and quality assurance, an in-home water filtration system is clearly the more sensible alternative to bottled water.
