Oil and Water

This is a tough one for me, since I'd much rather see people buying water than soda, but there is a growing movement against the bottled water phenomenon.

Gina Solomon, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, points out that "people complain about the cost of gasoline", but "no one seems to realize that they are paying for a picture of pretty mountains on the label and a product they could get for free from their own tap." She has a water filter at home and carries a reusable bottle for drinking tap water.

There are tons of reasons not to buy bottled water. Here are some of them on CNNMoney.
