Please don't think that no one cares about the future of the planet. I'm sure I could find ways that you and the other poster are helping to contribute to the demise of this planet if I knew more about your lifestyle. For example: are you a smoker of thc or nicotine?

Nope (never even tried), plus I'm a vegetarian (I won't even go into how good that is for the planet), recycle, buy green electricity, compost and lots more.
There will always be people who buy water because the water quality is poor, but like someone else said, a water filter will get rid of a lot of those problems. Drinking water out of a plastic bottle is a lifestyle choice for most people. Sadly all of those lifestyle choices add up to have a substantial impact on the planet. If your water quality is so poor as to affect your health and well-being then yes you probably need to drink it out of a bottle. If you don't like the taste then buy a water filter...
One thing I've learnt though, especially as a vegetarian, is that you can only take responsiblity for yourself. Hopefully enough people will do that to make a difference to the world.
Anyway, thats my 2c worth
