To some, but it depends on your country. If you live in a country where the tap water is safe, clean, and tastes ok then it seems bad to buy bottled water.. now if your drinking water isn't safe then it isn't controversial.
The people that complain about bottled water don't often look at the heavy hitter polluters (they don't stop flying, don't stop driving cars, etc)
Absolutely. We have decided not to clean the water we had coming to our homes. So we could buy it. We can buy pretty blue bottles of water to buy or we can make it something everyone has access to.
Why? So we could chide with some ideal of common sense? Eventually none of us comes together on this notion. water as profit? Something this basic makes profit obscene. And I'm not opposed to profit. I just don't want my water to come from Coke or Pepsi. We are asking too much of ourselves of something so simple.
I'd say so - there's all kinds of arguments about plastic bottles being bad for the environment, and which brand is better or worse because of how it's filtered, or treated, or where it's coming from, such as an endangered natural spring, or a foreign country with political issues.
Well many of the plastic bottles are simply buried in our landfills taking up space and some say that the chemicals in the plastic can actually seep into the water which of course isnt good. Just get a water filter for your sink
Considering that in the US most bottled water is plain old filtered tap water, the controversy concerns the consumer being ripped off.
It can be, but doesn't justify asking this in the Alcohol section especially when
YA has a NON alcoholic drink section, and water is not Beer, Wine or a Spirit.
It is an environmental (plastic debris) and a health (bacteria and dissolved salts) issue. I avoid it, myself.
