Bottled Water
Bottled water is costly, wasteful, and unnecessary. Marketed as healthy, bottled water is actually less regulated than tap water and about 2,000 times as expensive. Corporations like Nestle, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo profit from what should be a basic human right - access to safe, affordable water. Globally, it produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year.
