It's got nothing to do with being PC; it's got everything to do with having some Common Sense, Nipper..you moron! His response: Yes, I am big on bottled water and have been for most of my life. Full disclosure - I am the founder of www.bottledwaterweb.com which is an industry supported web site
The recent NewsPress editorial suggests:
bottled water is ok as long as you recycle the plastic and
cigarettes on the beach are not that big of a problem.
To think otherwise indicates political correctness. This highlights the phony concern for the environment that has laced some of their other editorials over the years. All you need to do is walk on the beach, pick up some litter and see how many cigarettte butts you get. POLLUTION!
Next, Nipper gets Travis to write about bottled water saying "plastic is okay!"
How many millions of gallons of potable water have you treated, Nipper? I'd wager "none". You know NOTHING about water treatment! Stop pretending you do!
The bottled water industry depends on gullible customers who believe the hype. The energy it takes to make bottled tap water is absurd! Plastic bottles should be banned from the landscape! and you should be banned! and Dr. Laura should be banned..and Wendy, too!!
The NewsPress can't justify this silly editorial simply because Nipper fancies himself a bottled water expert..what a ruse!
Bottled water marketing can be misleading.
Chapter 5 shows that despite recent FDA rules intended to reduce misleading marketing, some bottled water comes from sources that are vastly different from what the labels might lead consumers to believe. One brand of water discussed in this report was sold as "spring water" and its label showed a lake and mountains in the background -- with FDA's explicit blessing. But until recently the water actually came from a periodically contaminated well in an industrial facility's parking lot, near a waste dump (a state whistleblower informed the local media after years of internal struggles, finally putting an end to the use of this source).[30] Another brand of water sold with a label stating it is "pure glacier water" actually came from a public water supply, according to state records.[31] While FDA recently adopted rules intended to curb such practices, those rules include many weak spots and loopholes (including those that allowed the water taken from an industrial-park well to be sold as spring water with a label picturing mountains), and there are very few resources to enforce them.
