Why is it Important?
Environmental CostThe annual fuel used to transport bottled water
(around 2.7 billion litres) can power 1 million vehicles for a year
100,000 animals die every year because of plastic waste that isn’t disposed of properly

Why is it Important?
Economic CostDoesn’t make sense to sell a free commodity for
such a high priceThe recommended eight glasses of
water a day, at U.S. tap rates equals about $.49 per year; that same amount of bottled water is about $1,400
