was simply a misguided symbolic thing...like turning off the Citgo sign in
Boston 30 years ago to save energy - when it actually used less power than
most homes.
I also figured that getting rid of bottled water would simply have people
buying more soda and stuff. And I remember many years ago when you couldn't
get bottled water, all there was to drink when you were on a long trip was
soda...at least that was all there was that fit into the cupholders of your
car.
I had always thought of myself as buying a cheap water bottle that I'd
refill a couple of times and not feel brokenhearted about losing or
breaking.
I also remembered the campaign that restaurants tried a few years back about
how that one glass of water you asked for actually used three glasses of
water in its production - and didn't see them asking you to not order soda.
So I was a little suspicious about this whole "bottled water is the devil"
thing.
But I have to say that it sure is nice to be able to reach into a cooler of
cold water bottles when you're on a long trip.
