Upworhy posted this great article, that has been thoroughly fact checked, on how gross bottled water (even the expensive ones) really are. Read the article for the particulars but here is a list of findings and a video.

1. Bottled water is more expensive than tap water (and not just a little).

2. Bottled water could potentially be of lower quality than tap water.

3. The amount of bottled water we buy every week in the U.S. alone could circle the globe five times!

4. Paying for bottled water makes us chumps.

5. Bottled water is FILTHY.

6. There are 750 million people around the world who don’t have access to clean water.

If you’re properly disgusted, here are a few ways you can help destroy the bottled water industry:

1. Don’t buy bottled water. Get a reusable water bottle. The savings will add up.I carry a Brita® Sport Water Bottle everywhere connected by carabiner to my backpack or fanny pack!
2. Rally your schools, workplaces, and communities to ban bottled water.
3. Demand that your city, state, and federal governments invest in better water infrastructure.
