By now, you've probably seen the grim statistics about plastic water bottles. The issue seems to be getting more and more media coverage lately. In case you haven't heard the case against bottled water, here's a brief summary:

Pollution: 38 billion plastic water bottles are thrown out each year, contributing to a frightening "plastic stew" in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas.

Health: Bottled water is not necessarily more "pure" and "healthful" than tap water, despite what water packaging may have us believe. Plastic bottles leach harmful chemicals such as PET and BPA (see below), and 40% of bottled water is merely filtered tap water anyway.

Value: Even though 90% of tap water in the United States is proven to be as clean or cleaner than bottled water, manufacturers charge (and we pay) 1,900 times what it costs them to make their product.
