I used to sneer at the bottled water buyers, but I live in Medford, where the tap water is good.

When I visited a friend in Phoenix, I understood why everyone there buys bottled - their water is undrinkable! The amount of used plastic per day must be horrendous, though. 

So, I see both sides. Some wise guy will come up with a more "green" alternative to packaging and make a fortune - but don't expect the price to come down...

If you get the chance, I recommend the Penn & Teller episode of "Bullshit!" on bottled water. First or second season, I believe...
