I was on this message board I go to about "Going Green," and this is a post I read about bottled water. It was interesting and something I'd never have guessed!
* Tap water is governed by the EPA, while bottled water is governed by the FDA..
* All tap water has standards and is 100% tested, but only 30% of bottled water is tested (that which goes across state lines).
* Most bottled water comes from a municipal source, just like tap water, regardless of if its label shows a mountain and stream. Read the label, it will even tell you, except for Dasani, which won't tell you.
*Drinking bottled water can cost you upwards of $1,400 a year. The equivalent in tap water is under $1.
* If you're still unsure about your tap water, click this link to see its ingredients:

For information, click below. It's fascinating!
