Add to that the BPA leaching and the plastic... yikes! Bottled water is bad news no matter how you look at it, so I will definitely still choose tap!

In addition to chlorine and fluoride, which is a toxic waste product derived from fertilizer, there is also a myriad of other contaminants, especially if you live in an older building with aging pipes.

But we certainly do agree that a water filter is the best, most green way to go.

My biggest concern with tap water is the added Fluoride and other prescription meds. that have been found in our, so called "safe" city water. Most developed countries have banned fluoride in water. Less than 2% of Western Europe drink fluoridated water yet America fails to follow suit with over 50% of the United States population drinking fluoridated water. Fluoride has been shown to cause cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, brain damage, increase the risk of hip fractures and Alzheimer's. It has also been shown NOT to decrease dental decay. My thoughts are get a water filler for your home or buy bottled water from a reliable bottler with no fluoride and stay away from store bottled, single serving bottles that are both bad for your health and the environment.
