Just pathetic. Does anyone realize how much money they're wasting for bottled water? Tap water comes for more than a hundred-times cheaper! Do you people know how many animals are dying because they eat the plastic that we litter on the ground? Well, I don't know either, all I know is that it's a pretty damn big number. And does having a water menu help this problem? NO! It doesn't. Did you know that in the Fiji Islands, they make bottled water? A third of the people in the Fiji Islands don't have any pure water to drink, but they're still continuing their sales! In the Fiji Islands, people get Typhoid, a deadly disease, from dirty water and no one gives a damn! We desperately NEED a solution. NOW. We should all work together to find a solution. Until Then, Keep Drinking That Tap Water! Mahnoor Siddiqui P.S. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/7247130.stm This is sad. Just pathetic.
