An awesome article! I NEVER pay for water. The U.S. sure has us brain washed to spend as much many as possible. Why on earth would I pay for something that we have for free? If we are going to buy bottled water, we should be sending it overseas to countries that don't have safe water. Bottled water is ridiculous. I attend Century College in MN and they have an ice/water machine. I bought a "reusable" water bottle and drink free water all day. The plastic bottles that are used to bottle this water are also, in my opinion, unsafe. Many people refill these water bottles over and over again, which is horrible. The plastic starts to come apart and if you look in the water you can actually see parts of the plastic floating around. GROSS!! Not only that, most people do not recycle. This adds a ton of waste to our landfills, which is the LAST thing we need. And a note on the whole convenience thing, like I said, buy a reuseable and safe water bottle (I got mine from a local grocery store for $3) and fill up when you are at home, the gas station and work. I am very in love with the fact that my college has the ice/water machine. I constantly see it being used all day long.
Thanks

That looks like lots of fun. When I was in college we didn't had so many fun activities.
