- Abstract
The article discusses the negative effect of using bottled water on environment and related statistics. In 2007 the U.S. citizens have spent 11.7 billion dollars on 8.8 billion gallons of bottled water. The examination of 1,000 bottles of 103 brands by National Resources Defense Council revealed that one-third of the samples have more than industry accepted contamination. The use of oil for the production of plastic bottles and packaging and related environmental pollution are highlighted.
