Canada’s “Sudbury Star” reports bottled water is not only expensive, but also bad for the environment. Plastic water bottle containers are made of ingredients derived from crude oil and natural gas, and then, the bottles are produced, filled and trucked, and carbon dioxide is pumped out into the air. Hard water bottles also may contain such chemicals as antimony and bisphenol A, which can be bad for human health.
