review 1: Excellent and thought-provoking book about the bottled water industry -- and our obsession with it. Sadly, the bottled water industry contributes to real social justice and environmental concerns. Many companies privatize water in third world countries, selling it to developed nations at exorbitant prices -- meanwhile leaving those in poverty without. I highly recommend that all read this book. It changed my practices, and I think it will yours.
review 2: When I first visited California in 1985, I was amazed by aisles of bottled water and vending machines for water at grocery stores. I didn't realize at the time that I was looking at the future. I am not a big fan of bottled water, so I agreed with the points being made by the author. Bottled water has become t... moreoo excessive-we need to cut back on this costly, environmentally harmful practice. I happen to think the tap water where I live tastes fine. Interesting comments regarding tap water, safety of bottled water, advertising for bottled water, and false health claims. less
