Water Water Everywhere

The cartoon above was part of this NY Times article published in August 2007 about the overuse of water bottles. The argument put out there centers not so much on the actual water, but on the amount of oil it takes to produce the plastic bottles, transport them, and refrigerate them.
While I do occasionally buy bottled water simply because it's convenient, I've gotten into the habit of refilling gallons jugs at the grocery store (the tap water here does not taste good). I reuse the gallon jugs (good for the environment) and it's only 39 cents/gallon for refills (good for the pocket book).
