http://thebellsite.com/blog/2008/10/18/water-water-everywhere/ From Texas to Taiwan . . . don't forget WHY we celebrate!

I hear you Steve - we don't either - at least not straight from the tap. But - and this is the suggestion for those who can't - we filter it, ozoneate it, and UV it. After it has been treated we store about 10 gal in a stainless steel container and then dispense it from there. Of course we sometimes must buy a plastic bottle when caught without anything else. You well know that drinking fountains are pretty scarce in Asia :-) But they are not scarce in America. You don't have to have a bottle of water with you every where you go. What I'm challenging is the idea that there is nothing wrong with picking up a case of plastic bottles of (often inferior) water just for convenience or status. It should be purchased and consumed in a responsible way - and reusing the bottle a time or two wouldn't hurt either. Although you don't want to get me going on the whole idea of plastic bottles and BPA contamination. For one persons view see http://mihow.com/articles/2008/1/28/waging-war-against-bisphenol-a The post was mainly aimed at folks back home.
