Since I have an interest in bottled water from a number of different perspectives, I was intrigued by the following tweet from Bottledh2OBabe:

@SustainableArch Did u know there's a national shortage of rPET? Ask ur local gov to expand programs & offer public space recycling.

The twitter is from a thinly masked industry group that is pushing bottled water as a lifestyle, but this post caught my attention because it basically tries to enlist the rest of us in lobbying to help the industry further externalize their costs and impacts.  Yes, we need to make it easier for this industry that sells a public resource in plastic for a rediculous price and profit.  (Something in me suddenly sees an image of the water czar in the movie Tank Girl).

How about an alternative--we get useable water bottles and fill them at home.  No need for larger recyling centers, much less roadside trash, fewer plastics, etc., etc.  Oh yeah, and transportation costs as well as impacts to aquaifers.  Get a clue.  Get a canteen.
