A few posts below I wrote about Fiji water and the transportation and costs of getting that bottled water to you the consumer. I also have mentioned that in taste test after taste test, New York City tap water beats out bottled water again and again and again.

Now we can add to all that, the enormous costs involved in bottled water. Go to Buzz Feed and take a look at the links and those links links. If you are green at heart, you will no longer purchase bottled water. I know I will not. I use a local water store, previously mentioned where I cna get water at 30 cents a gallon folks, and I bet it will beat out every bottled water you can find on the shelf. I use it only for making coffee, oatmeal and rice. pasta is plain old filtered tap water.

Get greener, quit buying bottled water or have the bottled water companies got you on the hook and following them around mindlessly?

I'm putting a couple of ads in this post that are obliquely related. The first deals with one of the points that I make about health in developing countries and the problems of clean water. This ad addresses, not the workers, but the children who are the victims. Found at brand curve.

The second ad is about global warming. This particular as points out something very important. Hope the folks in the "ark" are paying attention. Found at ADpunch.

A Business Week online story about rubber pavers for sidewalks put me onto these. Seems like a winning situation. There are some very good business ideas out there. I wonder how many you have in the back of your mind? Company link.
