The Story of Bottled Water: Take back the tap (video)

Did you know that bottled water costs 2,000 times more than tap water, and that brands like Aquafina and Dasani are just filtered tap water?

Not to mention, 80% of those bottles end up in landfills anyway.

(by the makers of The Story of Stuff), an informative short film about the bottled water industry, was released on World Water Day (March 22).
