1) Bottled water is expensive

2) What About your Health ?
22% of bottled water tested contains chemical contaminants above the level approved by state health limits.The Natural Resources Defense Council's scientific study showed over 1/3
of the tested brands contain contaminants like arsenic and carcinogenic
compounds. Scientists agreed though that the contaminants were
negligible amounts and all of the bottled water was safe to drink, but
importantly the study clearly showed how "bottled water purity" can be
misleading.
3) Transporting and Recycling Bottled Water
More energy is needed to fill the bottles with water at the factory,
move it by truck, train, ship, or air freight to the user, cool it in
grocery stores or home refrigerators, and recover, recycle, or throw
away the empty bottles. The Pacific Institute estimates that the total
amount of energy embedded in our use of bottled water can be as high as
the equivalent of filling a plastic bottle one quarter full with oil.
4) Bottled Water is Bad for Your Teeth
A salt formed from the combination of fluorine, soil, and rock minerals,
fluoride is voluntarily added by the vast majority of states and/or
local municipalities (rather than the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency), to public water supplies across the United States. Many dentists and pediatricians are concerned that children who only drink bottled water may experience more cavities.
