In a perfect world, everyone could just goto their artisian well, and get fresh cold water in their reuseable container. But the truth of that is, some of us just don't have that opportunity, and even with using expensive filters, the water in our homes aren't the best. It is cheaper personally for me to buy bottled water (RECYCLE YOUR BOTTLES.) than it is to drink tap water. I was sick recently from Bacteria in my small intestine, the doctor said it coud have been tap water I drank years ago that just laid dorment til my immune system lowered enough for it to really hurt me. So I can see why those college students wanted Bottled Water, and not fountain water. Also, I can't have Soda, and the other drinks have too much Sugar. Sugary, and Full of Sodium drinks don't quench your thirst. I don't understand why someone would want to get rid of Bottled Water from the schools, yet keep the Sodas?
I've noticed some people on my blogs facebook page has turned this Nestle Positive Post about wanting to stay hydrated into something negative about "buying others land," I am guessing those people don't live in the city, metro areas, and have never tasted our tap water. It physically makes me sick. I choose to drink Bottled Water because it's safer, and cheaper for where I LIVE. That is my choice. It doesn't make me a bad person for drinking bottled water, when I do believe in recycling.
