To finish this World Water Day, I wanted to share a video here of the magnificent series of Annie Leonard, History of Stuff, that despite having a year is still fully present. In 'History Bottled water 'Annie tells the serious environmental and social damage that is producing bottled water: oil used in the production and distribution of the bottles, the millions of tons of these containers which are dumped into landfills every year ... I leave with her that I will explain it better.

Building World Water Day, the Centre Sustainability in Spain (OSE) today issued a press release saying that "drinking water quality is not necessarily the best is in a bottle."
The high demand for bottled water is a threat to sustainability. In contrast to tap water is distributed through an efficient infrastructure in terms of energy, transport bottled water long distances involves burning fossil fuels and significantly increases emissions of carbon dioxide generation unnecessary packaging.
is important to note that a better drinking water quality is not necessarily a bottle. The general belief is that bottled water is better than tap, and a proof of this is that consumers prefer to pay much more for bottled water than tap water. However, it is important to note that the difference in price between tap water and bottled water is not due to water quality, but the processes of production and bottling, transportation, marketing, etc..
