It's ridiculous that countless amounts of oil and energy are used to sell WATER when great tasting, healthy water is available free from the tap! I think you should write another story about this issue. One great place to start is tappening.com, which includes important facts about bottled water use, and this video describing the bottles the company sells to promote drinking bottled water: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVM3mY3gMpg Changing the world starts with changing our daily habits, and one habit that urgently needs to be changed is people’s consumption of bottled water.

Have your local tap water tested by the city or even better independently and if the water exceeds the epa limit tell the city, tell your mayor, tell your neighbors, Be pro active but find out the truth maybe your water is fine. Maybe all you need is a simple home purifier you can buy locally or maybe on the brighter side it turns out healthy. But either way our tax money should be spent wisely on healthier water and looking into alternatives at all times. The City of Santa Monica, Ca filters all rainwater run off before it enters the Ocean, Many cities are looking for ways to improve local water supplies, find some solutions......Celebrate Earth Day every day, she's sooo Beautiful Richard, as an active and health conscious citizen, use your freedom and voice.

Important is that we try to make a change. A really appreciate initiatives like the one from Nordic fresh. Last week I heard about a company with another great idea. It’s the website https://www.floraqueen.com and during May they plant 5 trees for every gift you buy to celebrate mother’s day. This way you make not only your own mother happy, but also Mother Nature. Fiji or Fuji… it doesn’t matter. Important is that we try to make a change.

Fuji is a mountain in Japan, Fiji is a country in the South Pacific (and where the bottled water company of the same name is located). That’s Fiji, not Fuji.
