I was literally just thinking about this, this morning. I'm traveling/camping and had a rare moment of choosing bottled water over the option of the moment, well water coming out of a rubber hose....and thinking, what will it be next, with the current so-called EPA...bottled air?? Decades ago i used to purchase bottled water all the time, thinking that tap water was universally evil. I really had it backwards- now when home I just filter my tap water & am just getting another travel filter ( ironically made of plastic).

Yeah, I think Nestle owns almost all the water on the planet, last I looked. That's why I use a Brita water filter pitcher for all my water. It's adorned with a Southern Poverty Law Center bumper sticker that says, "Fight Hate" on one side.

I wish I could not use bottled water. But the pipes in my building are full of rust and the water is very hard. It is also possible that it has lead. We have been given heavy-duty filters, but it does not filter out the rust.

Everyone should be storing water. We bought big blue containers just to contain back up water. We have a healthy well, but it’s not healthy if something happens to poison the groundwater, or we get into a war and our well gets blown up. Water is life!

Water is life and the corporations figured that out decades ago. They don't care as long as there's money to be made. With everyone taking the water out of the ground and it not being replenished, it's now a finite commodity. Will we soon see water wars? Yes. They're coming. Probably within the next 20 to 25 years or so. India, Pakistan and China are already spatting about water access. For you young people, I'm sorry, but you will all probably have to endure severe food and water insecurity within your lifetimes. The planet had passed the point of no return now.
