Aquafina Just a Public Water Source

Unless you are stocking up on earthquake supplies or stuck at the O.C. County Fair, stop wasting your money on bottled water -- it's as good as a Los Angeles tap:

A group called Corporate Accountability International has been pressuring bottled water sellers to curb what it calls misleading marketing practices.

Aquafina is the single biggest bottled water brand, and its bottles are now labeled "P.W.S." The new labels will spell out "public water source."

Bottled water may feel cleaner, but there's nothing sustainable about it. It's served to you in polyethylene terephthalate, a non-renewable source, for one. Let's add on the gas-consuming miles it was driven to be delivered to where you bought it. Let's add on the money you spent on a placebo. Let's drink Los Angeles water.
