Reliable drinking water is a well-known issue. Whether it's the struggle of a developing nation or the quality of water in urbanized areas, many of us are familiar with and touched by the issues surrounding water quality.

In industrialized countries, the problems are compounded by the response to our fears of what's in our water. Unfortunately, the environmental and social legacy of bottled water does nothing to help guarantee clean drinking water for the future.

Fast Company has a sobering article on the environment impact of the bottled water industry, from source to landfill.

    I agree with Josh Bangle. It's disgustingly brilliant. I'd love to see a commercial featuring that idea.
