Does bottled water make sense?

From Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project: “According to National Geographic, if everyone in the country cut their water-bottle purchases in half, we’d collectively save over $10 billion — more than the government spends on Head Start. And whereas tap water arrives via gravity, the cost of pumping, bottling, transporting and refrigerating bottled water burns up an estimated 50 million barrels of oil per year. That’s enough energy to meet the yearly needs for over a million Americans. We also spend about 17 million barrels of oil making all that plastic.”
