Buying bottled water is wrong, says Suzuki
“I don’t believe for a minute that French water is better than Canadian water. I think that we’ve got to drink the water that comes out of our taps, and if we don’t trust it, we ought to be raising hell about that.”
I think David Suzuki’s right. Canadian tap water is pretty good no matter where you go, and the quality of said water should not depend on any privately owned organization. I heard somewhere that with all the plastic bottles used to hold drinks in the world (that includes Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and so on) they use 150 million barrals of oil a year. I have no direct evidence to back that up, but it doesn’t exactly sound illogical.
I’m not going to run around like an alarmist and tell everyone to only suck water out of ponds, chain yourself to a tree and only buy hemp clothes, but honestly, who likes paying for water? Buy yourself a Nalgene bottle or whatever and pour one out every day before you go to work. Imagine this: You spend like $8.50, and you never have to buy a bottle of water again. You like flavoured water? Toss some iced tea powder in there or something.

dude, honestly, David Suzuki is a jackass. Tell me he only drinks tap-water and never buys bottles. Now, it is true in most cases that tap-water is better for you than bottled water because it contains more nutrients from, but dude, you should see the water that comes out of my tap.
I see where he’s going with the whole, we should be raising hell about tap water if its so bad, but honestly, I just can’t get over what a fag he is.
