The Profitable Business of Bottled Water

[@lajuanaraye]

Yesterday I sold a guy a tall boy beer, it costs $2.48. He realized he needed water so he grabbed one. The bottle water was $3.98. Both 12 ounces. $1.50 more than beer! When a necessity for life is outrageously expensive and sold as a commodity we are in dire trouble!! Water shouldn't be owned by anyone as WATER IS LIFE.

Many places in "developed" (global west) countries have shit tap water. Take any Native American rez or Flint Michigan for example. And in places where it's better, it's still got chlorine, fluoride, and other harmful and unnecessary chemicals, many of which are not present in bottled water. I'm not defending bottled water, in fact I don't think I've ever bought bottled water in my life. That is both a privilege of good tap water and a disadvantage of being poor. Nonetheless, bottled water can literally save lives, but we need to require these companies to be held accountable for their ecological crimes of drying up natural water sources and of creating plastic pollution. If they were required to invest the $, we could have safe bottled water in biodegradable plant-based "plastic" bottles. My final and most important thought, buy a filter for your tap.

City water has birth control in it

How would it lead to $9000 because the drinking maximum is roughly about 2 litres of water a day

[@atherrien95]

It takes into account other water we use for washing, etc.

It's not maximum, it's recommended amount for average person. More if you are overweight.

Have to say I never buy bottled water
