package it in a toxic container, sell it back to us and once we are done with it, we have litter that ends up in our oceans and other waterways, where it continues to pollute and harm or kill wildlife.

In my area, we have 3 giant bottling facilities: Perrier, Nestle and Ocean Spray. Fortunately, we have not had drought conditions and get plenty of rain but that could change at any time.
