The Truth About Water

Where i come from (Croatia) we all can drink tap water and most of us are doing so, but the trend of bottled water is more popular every day and reading this has changed my view of things...

But i think we dont have extremes like mentioned in this article (water shipped from places 5000 miles far away) thats just insane.
On the other hand our most consuming bottled water won a first prize for being the best bottled water in the world on a contest in Paris, so were not there yet, but still tap water rules!

People save the water!

disgusting stuff put me of drinking water for life lol, full of mosquitoe larvae sometimes a drowned cat and whatever else got in them. That was in NZ, most outback places I lived in Australia had them but I never drank from them. Places like Mt Isa had acid rain and if you saw what it done to car paint you wouldn't put that in your body lol mind you it only rained a few days a year there.

Where I live here in Canada we're on water restrictions all year as all the water here is pumped from rivers, tap water is disgusting they have so many chemicals in it to kill all the bugs and when you see the odd bear or moose floating down the river it kinda puts you off.

Bottled water is a huge hype (my own opinion) just boil tap water and you'll live.
