bottled water understood. part 2.


do you know where your water is really coming from?

this time the education is in video format from abcnews. bottled water, wasted energy?

bottled water is currently banned in 3 cities across our country: ann arbor, michigan; san francisco, california; salt lake city, utah. a ban is proposed for minneapolis, minnesota.

take the pepsi challenge on your bottled water. can you differentiate between your tap and the bottled water?

apparently jennifer can. she reportedly invested in the bottled-water brand smartwater and will appear in posters and print ads for it. (parent company of smartwater is glaceau, maker of vitaminwater, vitaminenergy, and fruitwater.)

turns out, jennifer co-created a limited-edition smartwater label available in stores across the country this month and the ads are already out.

for the full story: jennifer aniston's latest role: bottled water pitchwoman.

on the flip side, sex and the city star sarah jessica parker is putting her face out there for unicef's tap project to save lives by providing safe drinking water to children around the world. mark your calendars: march 22 of every year is the world day for water declared in 1992 by the united nations general assembly.

american's spent more on bottled water last year than they did on ipods or movie tickets: a staggering $15 billion.

read the entire report on america's indulgence: message in a bottle. the heart-stopping facts will turn you back around and return the bottled water to the shelf.

the ban on bottled water is starting at the city department level. all city departments will not be permitted to bring in bottled water any longer. the mayor's goal is to have this be a citywide mandate starting december 1, 2007.
