Your bottled water habit is sucking California dry
If you’re reading this, chances are very high that your home has at least one — and maybe more! — magic appliance that produces clean water suitable for drinking. That’s one reason to avoid paying for bottled water.
Another reason? There’s a good chance the water you’re buying at the supermarket was bottled in California, a state currently enduring a severe drought.

I love tap water™
Always a good idea to switch to tap water. And if the tap water in your city is gross nasty, filter pitchers and reusable water bottles are a great way to go. You can even get bottles with filters built in.
At my day job I get people who complain about being given a paper receipt for their purchase of three 24-packs of Zephyr Hills. A tree was cut down, yes. Whereas even if you’re not contributing to a west-coast drought, half your recycle bin goes to a landfill anyway, you’re burning fuel in order to transport fucking water, and you’re gearing up to choke anywhere between 1 and 72 sea turtles.
Dude. C’man.
The moment when you realize the world you live in is a dystopian horror show
