Water, Water Everywhere

From the New York Times:

$46 billion - Amount spent per year globally on bottled water
$1.7 billion - Amount needed per year beyond current spending to provide clean drinking water to everyone on earth
More than one billion - Number of people worldwide who lack reliable access to safe drinking water
80 - Percentage of world illnesses due to water-borne diseases

Bottled water is no more clean than tap water (in America, at least).
Bottled water is worse for the environment (think of all of the energy and plastic bottles consumed...wowza!).
