Yea, verily. It's a disgrace how much we consume. Not that I haven't done my fair share of consumption, but it ain't right.
I got a Pur pitcher for my office so I don't have to consume little plastic bottles. And I use a refillable sports bottle for the gym.
Of course, tap water in many places still sucks and that needs to be addressed (remember Woburn?) When people pay for little plastic bottles, it is because they have no faith in tap water supplied by people too lazy to get real jobs (water departments are a good example of why the phrase "city worker" is an oxymoron). I certainly don't. But I won't buy little bottles either -- Commander Girl only gets double-filtered tap at home--it freaks me out when she drinks unfiltered Philadelphia municipal tap water.
And it is not just me. Once on Cape Cod, I offered a friend's daughter unfiltered tap to drink and she looked at me as though I had three heads. Her mom suggested I tell her that it was okay to drink the water there, and tell her that it was well-water and did not come from a municipal supply. Only after hearing my assurance that she was getting well water, not Philly water, did she drink it.
