Movie Review: Tapped

Not exactly a review.  Just felt compelled to pass on some things from Tapped, a documentary about bottled water.

• Bottled water is (generally) not safer than tap water.
• And 1900 times more expensive than tap water.
• Plastic bottles leach carcinogens into the water.
• Most of these same bottles go unrecycled and pollute the land and water.
• Nestle, Coke, and Pepsi overextract water from their sources, even in times of drought.
• Their sources are often public.  Yes, tap water.
• Plastic bottles require a ridiculous amount of oil to produce them.

So…

• Stop drinking bottled water.
• Get a water filter.
• Avoid plastic.  Get a stainless steel bottle, like an insulated Klean Kanteen (works great for hot coffee or cold water).
• Stream the documentary on Netflix.
• Recycle.
• Support bottle bills for your state.
• Spread the word.
