Top 10 Reasons Why Bottled Water is a Good Thing

Chuck Fager may be no David Letterman, but he sure as heck can put together a Top 10 list.  (Plus three more, as he notes).

Fager, writing for the Friends Journal, rattles off 13 top-notch points as to why bottled water is a blessing, not a curse.  His reasons run the gamut of healthfulness to convenience to importance in emergency response. 

Read his list here, and understand, as he says:

I am not clear how or why the anti-bottled water crusaders selected [it] as the symbol for water problems; my guess is that its high visibility was a key factor. But that is a marketing ploy, not a representation of truth about water issues and their solutions...If bottled water disappeared, the real water problems would remain unaffected.

...

I hope Friends will consider these points before continuing to ride the bandwagon to nowhere represented by the anti-bottled water propaganda campaign. Water issues are too real and important to be thus diverted and trivialized.

@markaci Research shows the anti-bottled water movement is turning people to soda, not the tap. Same bottles, less healthy.
