Well water?? And you're still alive Paul? (sarcasm) Thanks so much for weighing in on this issue! I wholeheartedly agree that we spend way too much money on the bottled water industry but as you said, that's not going away so we need a way to make it better. Thanks for alerting me to this campaign Paul - I will check it out! What? Well water?? And you’re still alive Paul? (sarcasm) Thanks so much for weighing in on this issue!

Growing up on well water in the countryside, I'm still surprised how fanatic people get about the purity of their bottled water and spend so much money on bottled water when it could be donated to other causes. As there will always be people who buy water bottles, there's room to make them greener and biodegradable as there are biodegradable corn plastics on the market. I've tried using a Pur filter at home but have not been able to get the rest of my family to leave their Aquafina non-biodegradable bottles at the store. If you are interested, there's an effort to pressure PepsiCo to switch to biodegradable bottles for Aquafina water. Check it out at http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/put-aquafina-in-biodegradable-bottles-or-else I just joined as I feel we need to just get one of the bottled water makers to make the switch and that will hopefully encourage other water companies to follow their lead.
