Miracle cure?
I really don't know what heading to add this to... green issues, energy saving, conservation, health?
If we are lucky, water comes out of the tap! And standards of purity apply. So why are so many people buying bottled water? [It's not a very 'green' thing to do, what with the plastic bottles which have to be made, and the transportation costs... to name but two of the problems!]
But the following information from an e-mail I received made me laugh... well you either have to laugh, or CRY.
"A popular brand of spring water - with a label showing a lake and some mountains - comes from a well in the car park of an industrial facility. (And what is more worrying is that the car park is just next door to a hazardous waste dump.)"
If you are worried about the quality of your tap water... just put some into a jug, the air will remove some impurities in a short period of time; you could also use a magnetized stand for it. Anyone who wants more details... please leave a request.
