Consumers spend a collective $100 billion every year on bottled water in the belief--often mistaken, as it happens--that this is better for us than what flows from our taps, according to environmental think tank the Earth Policy Institute (EPI).

For a fraction of that sum, everyone on the planet could have safe drinking water and proper sanitation, the Washington, D.C.-based organization said this week.
Check out the full article ( http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=39 ), it is absolutely ridiculous that people die from dehydration in parts of the world while people pay for tap water.

Keep in mind that the high-end bottled water EVIAN spelled backwards is naive.

It's also one of the worst tasting bottled waters.
