When you think of the 1.5 million barrels of oil in the US that are used to make water bottles from polyethylene terephthalate, of which about 90% are landfilled or incinerated, the cool clear liquid you are about to quench seems far from refreshing. 

Not to mention that most of the bottled water in today's industry is just tap water in disguise! Corporations are turning a natural resource into a profit making consumer trap. Millions of money goes into advertisement to sale bottled water as cleaner, healthier and even better tasting then tap water.

Students from universities around the country are opting out of the bottle water biz and spreading a new trend in reusuable bottles like the Kleen Kanteen. Tufts Univiersity students are fighting back by pledging to not support corporate control of water. I really like how we as students can come together and make a tidal wave in our communities and world. Join the movement and take action today!
