Oil_bottled_water

David Coale of Acterra displaced the amount of water from each designer bottle with the amount of oil it takes to ship that bottle from its natural spring point to the shops. This is an excellent basis for sticking with locally produced and compostable Belu or One's Welsh ethical water. Or just reuse a leftover glass bottle from Luscombe Elderflower bubbly and fill from your tap. As you go about your weekend business, think about 50 Ways to Save Your Water. [GT]
