Take flouride out of tap water and then I'll drink it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the above story but I still feel like sharing it. In the average M.R.E. (meal ready to eat) which I have been eating for eight years and no matter how inventive the men and women get at the DoD..they still suck. Anyways, back in basic you had to consume all your M.R.E. at the designated meal time and the M.R.E's came with a cheap rip-off of a cool-aid like drink. You were never, I repeat never allowed to mix this cool-aid with your water in your canteen. Of course PFC. King was an idiot and just couldn't resist a little bit of cherry goodness. Thinking I was slick, but my cherry stained tongue gave me away. The punishment for defiling my canteen with a cherry mix was P.T until I puked, then I had to put on my Full Dress A's and some bright sliver Patton helmut my sadistic D.S had and do fire watch all night. Guy was a bastard and I used to think he was such a bad ass cause he jumped into Panama and Desert Storm V1. Foolish PFC King thought war had passed him by eight years later I wonder what that D.S is doing now and if I have earned the right to drink cherry cool-aid if I want..........on a side note never, ever eat the charms...they are vodoo!

Brita filters do the trick

Brita filters does the trick

Now that I don't live in ROFL Colorado I've switched back to drinking tap water without fear of exotic cancers and neurological problems.

I have a Brita filter; It does wonders.

I quit using bottled water early last year...even from the big bottle at work. The label on the bottom has a triangle with a 7 inside. That means there is a possibilty the plastic is made with and leaching BPA. And they reuse them all the time.
I had not fully realized, until I read some of the articles posted here on current, that so many billions of water bottles were filling our landfills, leaching poisons, etc.
I now carry a glass bottle that had tea in it. I clean it and I refill from the tap.

I really liked this video. Informative, yet it didn't speak down to me. I learned some facts and I will really make a conscious effort to cut out bottled water. At least cut down to the point where unless I am in the middle of a third world country and that is the only safe alternative.

I am cutting down to drinking Coke only when I drink Jack. I need a few vices. I used to drink at least 3 Cokes a day. While in Europe I did opt to drink bottled water. I am ashamed now.

I felt like I was watching School House Rock again, very informative for people who dont know about these kinds of problems. Should be shown around the world for World Water Day.
