  • Bottled Water Doesn't Fix Water Quality Problems
    Whenever severe water contamination impacts a community, people (and media outlets) tend to jump to bottled water as the only solution. The bottled water industry has managed to convince vulnerable consumers that their product is inherently safer than what’s coming out of their taps. Oftentimes, this isn’t the case. The reality is that bottled water is associated with a host of ethical, environmental and regulatory problems. Drinking bottled water is not a long-term solution to water contamination, and we should critically examine its role as water quality crises continue to pop up across the country. Our water nerds discuss these issues and break down what you need to know.
