Evian spells Naive backwards.Do you buy bottled water?

I was in my local supermarket today and there were 13 bands of bottled water.....13! We all know bottled water is the biggest marketing scam since printer ink but yet still people buy it. Its water. They know its water. It’s the stuff that comes out of your tap but people want to believe in marketing so they don’t feel guilty and stupid for buying a product they think is going to make them a better person. In fact the whole point of marketing is to make people feel inadequate for not having something they don’t need so they go out and buy it. They don’t need to buy bottled spring water. It’s no healthier than tap anywhere in England. Young women think it will make their skin softer and younger and so stuff one in their bag, paying £1 for water worth 1 penny from the tap that will surely have the same effect. It’s crazy! It takes six litres of water to get one bottle of spring water to the super market floor. We all know many of those bottles end up floating in the ocean killing marine life. To buy bottled water is simply selfish, especially when some women in the third world on International Women’s Day had to walk 8 miles just to get less than pleasant water from the well to survive. In Cape Town that city has almost run dray as global warming accelerates and people refuse to change their decadent habits around resources. A major city is 4 weeks away from water Armageddon. How stupid can we get!
