The Story of Bottled Water
Posted on: April 6, 20103 comments so far (is that a lot?)
The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industry’s attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

What this video fails to mention is the highly toxic fluoride added to our tap water. The only way to be sure you are drinking good water is to get a reverse osmosis filter or drink distilled water. The fluoride gets absorbed by our skin also, so a whole house filter is ideal, but expensive. People need to demand that fluoride stop being added to our tap water. It is not even good for teeth, it causes dental fluorosis and cracks teeth over time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9daqPRUWpMc this is a great video about fluoride.
