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 found one example on wikipedia where it says that eBay auctions can be seen as perfectly competitive. There are very low barriers to enter the market which means that anyone can sell a product, as well as buyers can buy any product they are looking for. Farming is also a perfect competition.
