What are YOU drinking?
I stumbled upon this interesting video in which Penn & Teller uncover the 'truth' about bottled water. It's pretty fascinating. In full disclosure mode I admit that our drinking water is tap water filtered through a Britta filter. We almost exclusively drink carbonated water and for some time now have been discussing a home carbonation system. These are pretty popular over here and have recently started appearing in the US.
The biggest reason I have for investing in one of these systems is to cut back on the amount of plastic bottles we send out for recycling every week. Although they (supposedly) aren't ending up in the landfill, it still takes energy to recycle them and it would be better if we didn't have to use them at all (plus the added benefit of not having to haul them up our 80 stairs).
Anyway, if you buy bottled water you may want to watch this video and think twice about how 'clean' your drinking water really is. (Some language not safe for work or the kiddies)
