    This is a great infographic about the facts of bottled water. I love my 1 liter reusable water bottle and carry it around all day filling it up with tap water 3-4 times a day which keeps me hydrated and healthy.  It seems the recession has caused consumers to cut back on bottled water and the industry has declined for the first time in 6 years according to a Washington Post article. When I visited Fiji in March of last year, the locals told me that the demand for Fiji brand water was down and a lot of jobs had been cut back at the factory.  They said they like having the bottled water manufacturer there as it brought a lot of jobs and money to Fiji.  My sister had the opportunity to take a tour of the factory and said it was operating way below capacity.  This is bad for the Fijian people but good for the environment as the bottle water bubble seems to be retracting, although it is mostly based on financial and not environmental reasons. While a large portion of the world desperately seek clean drinking water, the United States and other countries spend billions on bottled water when perfectly clean drinking water is readily available. Not only are we needlessly spending money on water with lower standards than those of tap water, we are also filling our landfills with billions of pounds of oil based plastic that take 1000’s of years to degrade.

    Well done infographic about coffee.  I love this stuff.  I finally figured out where “my drink” the americano gets its name from as well and it is fitting.
