I agree. Bottled water is a huge waste of money and horribly damaging to
the environment. My tap water is very hard (lots of minerals and also
chlorine). My Brita water pitcher style filter does a great job of
getting out the unwanted stuff and its a hell of a lot cheaper and more
convenient than bottled water, not to mention far more environmentally
friendly.
