I especially agree that aside from the obvious environmental impact of bottled water, bottled water is extremely harmful in that people have begun to look to corporations to provide them with "safe" water (which is a facade), instead of focusing on their local water systems. Every time we turn to b.w. if a local system is "not going a good enough job," we hand those corporations control over this resource. How long until the municipal systems fall apart and Coke steps in to save the day? I don't want Coke in charge of my resources!
