 @stevewfolds @MarkHoltom Sometimes it's from city water systems and sometimes from aquifers in states with loose laws regarding water resources (I'm looking at you Michigan with your plant next to 131 near Stanwood) @trebach @MarkHoltom @stevewfolds @MarkHoltom  @MarkHoltom Not quite true. The bottles are produced by a plastic company. They just fill the bottles.
  @MarkHoltom Remember, air and water is human right, not product, no matter what WTO said.  @tromo @MarkHoltom I don't mind paying for it, as long as I only pay for transport of water to my house/to be bottled etc. Water itself should always be free, or extremely low cost. @notmybackdoorbug It is like free speech, it is or it is not free. There is no middle level. So dont allow them to make it product. After all there are more human rights to discuss, like the right to housing, especially if you have paid it already. :P @MarkHoltom @tromo @MarkHoltom unfortunately we don't live in a communist society. Transport costs money, it's true for water, electricity and heat. I work at a electricity company. It's actually own by the government, we are not allowed to make profits a goal (so basically a state sponsored non-profit). Yet, we still ask money from people and other companies. People like me need to eat, we have costs and we cannot pay everyones thing. That is reality. @notmybackdoorbug In a normal society the state pays. We pay the state to offer the basic needs otherwise what is the meaning o the state except to protect the property of the wealthy... The stolen property. You continued to get paid and the transports are paid, and everything... I had to explain because the western had weird opiniions about socialism. @tromo @notmybackdoorbug @MarkHoltom On the subject of 'water loads' Not even that. The bottles are produced by another company, this one only puts the water inside.  @pirrata @MarkHoltom Yeah I was going to say. They don't make the bottles, and might not even fill the bottles, that's often a local bottling company. Coca Cola et al are just marketing and intellectual property companies.  @MarkHoltom if all the $ spent on bottled water had been spent on treatment of water, on prevention of pollution of water at the sources tap water would be as clean and pure as it was in the Pleistocene.  @MarkHoltom ope! Isn't Nestlé the bottled water company in Michigan that literally takes the potable water away from towns like Flint? @MarkHoltom plastic bottles filled with micro-plastics that you drink and put into your body because ... money.    @MarkHoltom true, true... #Protip: that #meme would be #20PercentCooler if it had an #AltText with #ImageDescription.  @MarkHoltom Yes but also no. In some parts of the world, bottled water is the only source of drinkable water. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it's a good thing. But it is a fact life for many people.  @MarkHoltom I have a trouble with this because almost all bottled water companies buy the bottles they fill.  @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk |
@MarkHoltom Often with stolen water, looking hard at Nestlé taking millions of liters of water in the US.
