I’ve been reading about the dangers for years. But it took me awhile to believe it enough to make a change in our house. No more plastic bottles! Surprisingly, it wasn’t the constant reports about those nasty chemicals in the plastic leaching into the water that finally opened my eyes. Nor was it the horrible effect all of those bottles have on our environment. No, what finally turned me around was seeing study after study that said our tap water was cleaner and safer than what you could buy in the store/Idaho Dad, A Family Runs Through It. More here.
Question: Which do you prefer -- bottled water or tap water? Why?
