scotte34 rated 3 months ago- From the page: "The Pacific Institute estimates that in 2006: * Producing the bottles for American consumption required the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels of oil, not including the energy for transportation * Bottling water produced more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide * It took 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water"

- From the page: "According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, Americans bought a total of 31.2 billion liters of water in 2006, sold in bottles ranging from the 8-ounce aquapods popular in school lunches to the multi-gallon bottles found in family refrigerators and office water coolers. Most of this water was sold in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, requiring nearly 900,000 tons of the plastic. PET is produced from fossil fuels â€" typically natural gas and petroleum."

- Interesting stats on the inefficiency of producing bottled water... in 2006 it is estimated that "it took 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water." I find it kind of funny (and I find it kind of sad - couldn't help it) that there's really a company called the "Beverage Marketing Corporation."
