In fact, the production and shipping of bottled water consumes a log of fossil fuel. The cost of producing bottled water is some 10,000 times more than tap water.
With this in mind, the government should put more money into ensuring that tap water is safe and available to all residents, whether in urban centers or rural areas.
In addition to drinking less, recycling more, and avoiding products with a lot of packaging, individuals should refrain from drinking bottled waters.
As for the glacial spring water from the roof of the world, I believe it is better left alone.
If we continue to slide toward what former US vice-President AI Gore calls the "tipping points", we'll have to cope with unbearable heat as glaciers further retreat and disappear. The source of the precious spring water will be gone before we know it.
