Bottled water only costs 100,000 times what tap water costs. What's
money for if not to spend it!

How is conserving water in Maine (a state awash in water) going to help
people in Africa ??? That's makes about as much sense as your mom telling
you to clean your plate off cause kids are starving in Africa...Gotta
another news flash for you...All the water we use ends up back in the ground
eventually..What we drink goes in one end and out another.What we retain
will end up in the ground when we get put in the ground as well...It doesn't
go anywhere...Well except for the water we send up to the space
station...LOL..The rest of it stays right here on Earth..It is the ultimate
recycling program....

Hi,
Fine and dandy. Ever heard "Think globally, act locally"? World wide we
don't have lot of fresh drinkable water. I just think you are being a
jack ass about issues mankind faces.

Nice counter to the points I made.....When all else fails , attack the
messanger.....Typical....You still haven't answered my question...How does
me conserving water here in Maine benefit those in Africa ??? Is it magicly
transported there ???...If I don't use it it runs into the Atlantic
Ocean...What then ?? How does that help ?? I wonder what name he will call
me next...LOL....

No, and neither has my water. Probably.

Dirty, dirty people. If water were that big a deal, they'd catch the next
bus for Maine.

Why? Water, like whale oil for lighting, is a renewable resource.

Okay. This definition of "opinion"? "Opinion - A belief or conclusion held
with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof."

But substantially less energy than it takes to bottle Pepsi or Schlitz (The
beer that made Milwaukee famous). People sometimes drink bottled water for
the taste, same as Pepsi or Schlitz (The beer that made Milwaukee famous).
Admittedly, there aren't very many that do, but some.
