Every week we'll post another easy tip to help you be environmentally friendly.
Eco-Tip 18
Buy local WATER. What are we talking about? Lots of brands of water from all over the world are holding ground in American markets -- some even posing as environmentally conscious products. Don't trust them. We've got nothing against globalization, but seriously, there's no reason to buy water from hot springs from some nearly uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean or from glaciers on French mountain tops. Water is water, H2O, there's no reason it can't be from a water fountain or even Poland Spring if you must. I was reminded of this issue the other day at big event where the only beverages available were sodas and Fiji (both ridiculously overpriced since everyone was desperate.) I went with a soda because even if it is made from tap water and dozens of esoteric chemicals in a factory on some NJ highway, it sure didn't travel that far.
And of course I recycled the bottle after I was finished.
