OK, I will go with you and we will slap her together. Then we’ll go to lunch. My treat. :)
OK, I admit I have a slight concern about reusing the plastic bottles. I wish I could get a nice collection of glass bottles. I guess I could. Of course, I’ve been making mod podge projects with THOSE. :) I’m hopeless...now everyone is going to think I’m a hippie or worse. Don’t go to my blog, I’ll be outed.
Yup one of the modern wonders that saved a lot of lives was sewer and water sanitation systems. I wouldn’t want to go back.
NO!
Check for the source
A few years back there was a new water on the market. It had a name like Crisp Mountain, or something like that. I looks at the source on the back of the bottle. It read: Cincinnati Municipal Water Supply.
That is why we rotate our bottles so they are not just sitting there.
If you are concerned about the plastic bottles that much, get a Brita filter/pitcher and pour the water from the bottle through it.
My wife was that way until she got a case of the "I buy it when we go on road trips with no concern for how long it has been in the bottle, so WTH am I filtering bottled water?"
My Dad used to keep Mason jars of water in the fridge. And he would stock up Mason jars of water in the pantry when bad weather threatened.
I do have mason jars. I was thinking I could also save those glass jars tea come in. I know it’s probably dumb, but I have a progressive neuro condition, caused by who knows what and so I worry about all sorts of toxins that are probably nothing. So.... I have recently thought about plastics. I’m not so much worried about first use with the water bottles, but reusing and reusing seems like maybe a less good idea. I never even thought of mason jars. Thank you.
I would have to suppose that this writer doesn't have proof-readers and/or editors?
We have an ‘under the counter’ water filter, and have a special faucet for the filtered water. I don’t use that water for washing dishes, just for drinking and cooking.
Still sucks, I have an RO system.
You can watch the Costco brand bottled water being bottled at their (Seattle area) Southcenter store, straight out of the Seattle City Water pipes.
My local tap water is pretty good, but the pipes are old.
I remember when the lake turned over. I had no idea what that meant, except it meant the water was undrinkable... At the time the only other option was something called Ozarka....
I don’t trust the Mississippi River in New Orleans, which is the source of our tap water. Many chemical plants upriver. I’ve been drinking bottled water for more than 30 years, and I like it. I drink many different brands of b.w. I can’t stand the way the tap water tastes. Also, the water across Lake Pontchartrain in certain communities tastes like “egg water”.
