Seattle Banning Bottled Water
I find in interesting that Seattle is planning on banning bottled water. Recently we had a post on prescription drugs in the tap water which featured a video from Penn and Teller that told how ridiculous bottled water is. I mean, you spend 8 dollars a gallon for bottled water, which to any normal person bitching about 3.50 at the gas pumps should seem relatively ridiculous.
Seattle decided to ban bottled water for it’s city workers as a branching off from the banning the use of plastic bags in the city. I really wish this whole thing would catch on. Obviously people are too stupid to think that paying 8.00 a gallon for bottled water (most of it just tap water repackaged or water that does not even meet tap water regulations) is a bad thing for them, much less for the environment.
Here is the deal. Buy reusable bags. Buy a water bottle and drink the tap water you already pay for by paying taxes. Save the environment. Save yourself some money. It’s a win-win situation. It just makes sense, don’t you think?

Seattle isn’t banning bottled water they’re simply not spending public funds to by it for government employees. They aren’t saving a lot of money but hopefully the environmental benefits will be worth it.

I know but it sounds better if you say it like they are banning it. They are banning it from public employees during work. It sets a precedent.
