We’re paying 2,000 times more for bottled versions of the same water you’d take a
bath in.
Update, October 26: Read Aquafina’s response to our report.

File to: “Obviously. What kind of idiot do you take me for?” The world’s biggest bottled water brand is going to start
admitting that it comes from the exact same source as the tap water disdained by snobs.
USA Today reports Aquafina has changed its labels to specify P.W.S. — Public Water Source — under pressure
from Accountability International. PepsiCo spokeswoman Michelle Naughtron called this a “reasonable thing to do” if
it helped people understand that they were paying a premium to have the same water they get in their bathroom
sink labeled with a serene mountain scene.
And it’s quite a premium. ConvergEx Group Chief Market Strategist Nick Colas explained consumers were flushing
thousands on their favorite label of H2O in an interview with Business Insider:

2. “The [bottled water] industry grossed a total of $11.8 billion on those 9.7 billion gallons in 2012,
making bottled water about $1.22/gallon nationwide and 300x the cost of a gallon of tap water,” Colas
says. “If we take into account the fact that almost 2/3 of all bottled water sales are single 16.9oz (500
mL) bottles, though, this cost is much, much higher: about $7.50 per gallon, according to the
American Water Works Association. That’s almost 2,000x the cost of a gallon of tap water and twice
the cost of a gallon of regular gasoline.”
Two thousand times what we spend on tap water! You have to hand it to their marketing department, and not just
Aquafina. Fiji even managed to get a brand of bottled water under military dictatorship and shipped across the world
showing up with Al Gore.
Throwing away money is one thing; throwing away all that plastic is entirely another. It’s almost a joke that we have
a plastic mass double the size of Texas floating around the Pacific, or that almost every single seabird on the planet
will have plastic in its digestive system by 2050. If those concepts are too abstract and you’d like a visual
representation of the toll it’s taking on the environment, here’s an artist’s installation of a whale paddling across an
ocean of 70,000 disposable plastic bottles.

Making a decision to stop drinking bottled water delivered to you in plastic is a no-brainer. What if you could get the
best water in the world right from your tap? According to recent statistics, the average family of four spends about
$5,000 a year on bottled water. The above posting deals primarily with our environment. But what about YOUR
environment–your body. Most of the bottled water sold is acidic. Most human’s bodies are acidic which only
promotes illness and disease. Consider alkaline water produced by Kangen. There are models to fit every budget
and financing is available. Then what if you share the water with family and friends? There are tons of testimonials
displaying the benefits of putting your body in an alkaline state. If you’d like some links, shoot me an email:

more about the business opportunity then give this video a look. Either way, bottled water is one of the biggest
scams out there. Expensive, most of the brands are bad for your health, bad for the environment. It’s really an easy
decision.
