Bottled Water

I don't exactly consider myself an avid environmentalist. I don't contribute to Greenpeace, I don't go out of my way to buy organic, and I probably throw away more than I have to. However, one thing that irks me to no end is the prevalent use of bottled water. I mean, there are times when it's useful (for example, if you're in an area where water isn't readily available), but there is no need to drink bottled water at home when there is equally good tap water right at the sink. People might complain that it isn't healthy, but municipal water is in fact regulated, and when something goes wrong (which rarely happens), it's a big deal! Now, as we all have heard numerous times, a picture is worth a thousand words [citation needed]. Thankfully, someone has already created an infographic (which is worth a lot more than 1000 words, right?), which allows me to be a lazy bum and link to some other dude's work instead (click for the actual thing).

OTL. I have to admit, I am one of those who relies largely on bottled water. It's a convenience thing, really -- you can carry them around everywhere, they have caps and are easy to drink from, etc. 'spose I should get a washable bottle; they just seem so difficult to wash.

Why does a water bottle need to be washed?
