There was some good news this week about our collective national thirst for bottled water. According to an industry report, bottled water sales in the US are slowing down considerably, and forecasters predict a growth rate of less than 1% per year for the next 5 years.
Market analysts are blaming the slowdown on the weak economy, and the fact that tap water is cheaper than bottled water. I like to think that awareness campaigns had something to do with it as well, and folks are drinking less bottled water because there's something deeply unjust and dangerous about having a privatized water supply, not to mention the fact that the bottles are a colossal waste of plastic.
