Hi,
some Off-Topic comments on it:
- in many countries bottles are refundable/recyclable
- you can also use the non-bottled water that the locals drink (This is what I do most) - or boil your water
- I don't know how many bottles have the same environmental bilance then a hightec product which parts are produce all over the globe...
