We recently got word of a bottled water company, Icelandic Glacial, who are touting themselves as a environmentally-friendly bottled water company. As society ditches or at least thinks more about ditching their bottled water and relying on the filter and tap, this is an interesting product introduction.
You probably don't have to scratch your head for too long to figure out how we feel about another water product. While the Green Credentials of Icelandic Glacial are impressive and might make the company less bad than other bottled water companies, we'd like to ask, what about no bottled water? Should less bad be the goal, or should good be the goal.
At home, why not drink from the tap and filter the water if you need to? When out and about, bring your own. Faith told us last week about Sigg bottles, one of her holiday gifts. We also like Klean Kanteen's line of bottles (Ursula is a big fan of their sippy cup).
Enough of our opinions...
Perhaps not the right place to ask this but ahhh well...
I don't like buying bottled water, but I like the bottles in which the water comes. Sure, I know that it leaches nasty chemicals into my body. I'm apparently willing to overlook that in favor of a cheap supple plastic container that fits into the water bottle pouches on the outside of my bookbag. Has anybody found a substitute for bottles like that?

qatet - that's a great question. We'll take it up tomorrow.

I wish more manufacturers would put forth the same or even more efforts than this company. Outside of that, I'm not a bottled water buyer because of the waste of the bottle.

I don't use bottled water (for stated reasons but also because its seems like more of a hassle), but some people seem unable to let it go and for them this seems like a better choice
