It is amazing, just to think of the cost of bottles,
and then, the cost to transport those bottles,
and finally, the cost to "landfill" those empty bottles.

I was shocked, when I stopped in a convenience store.
The bottled water was in the cooler with the soft-drinks.
Your choice..... "a buck-a-bottle"......

But then we live in a society that buys $1000 barbecue grills.
