Maybe where you live. I live in a major metropolitan area where we are advised to not drink the tap water for six months out of the year because of the pollutants and chemicals in it. The chemicals can't be filtered out.
Tap water is clean. This is the myth spread on the major news sources and every other news media. It is not clean and it is not at times even safe. Any idea how many drugs are flushed, drained, and dumped into every water supply in America? Seriously people. If you are still drinking tap water you are just plain dumbed down.
Yes plastic. I recycle every gallon I use. And I put clean mountain water in my body..........
AADAD last time I checked bottled water does not even need to meet any particular standard or be tested for anything.
at home i use filtered water but i travel with my job, thus staying in hotels, which results in buying water in plastic bottles during my stay do i have any other options when i am out on business?

If that's the case then I apologize for such a wide-sweeping comment. I had just never heard of any place in the US where the drinking water is not safe- I've lived all over the country, and never been in a place with water issues. In fact it's something the US is known for, being one of the few places in the world where tap water is kept up to a clean, safe standard.
I don't see a problem with buying ater in plastic bottles if you recycle them. In my state we pay bottle deposit on bottled water and return them with the cans and bottles, to get your money back.

the problem is that so much of it does not get recycled, ends up all over the place, including in the ocean, on the street, in the wilderness, etc.
most places in this country do not recycle period.
then there is the fact that it takes energy to transport and recycle the empty plastic, on top of the energy it takes to bottle and deliver the bottled water.
why not instead get a reusable plastic bottle, and just wash it and fill it yourself. its so easy.
so you live in alaska and have to, or feel that you have to drink bottled water
that is sad.
and here i am in nj, surely the most superfunds per land area... and we managed to find some decent water in the ground!!!
True enough. I just really prefer the Mount Shasta H20 have for years. Anchorage has "very good quality" water but I know what gets dumped into the water supply simply no way to filter that out.
