Comments on: It’s Confirmed: FIJI to NY = VERY Far! http://truthinhydration.com/archives/weve-confirmed-it-fiji-still-very-far-from-new-york Brought to you by Tap'dNY.com Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:59:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: adeel http://truthinhydration.com/archives/weve-confirmed-it-fiji-still-very-far-from-new-york#comment-102 adeel Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:31:23 +0000 http://truthinhydration.dev.naterkane.com/?p=7#comment-102 Bravo! Its great that you are exploiting available resources rather than adding to escalating global problems with bottled water. As a brit, I fill up my water from the tap, and it honestly tastes better than the environmentally unfriendly bottled rubbish from Evian, Volvic and other irresponsible suppliers. Kudos to you sirs.

It's the best option hands down. By all means, Gilda, please DRINK TAP when it’s available. It’s the best option hands down.

Bad news. Nice that you are using local water BUT putting it in plastic bottles that will hang around in dumps and landfills for eons? Bad news.

I totally agree, and I want a bottle of NYC water. Shipped to me, 1074 miles away, because I want in on the hype!!!! Yay! I have been reading for YEARS about the aqueducts and the quality of the water. Now I want in. I want some shipped to me! Hey. I totally agree, and I want a bottle of NYC water.

Really, think about it. I know this is extreme but what if I were spreading a disease, but for every person I get it to I educated 4 about how to prevent it. Wouldn't we all be better off if I just stopped steading it? That's kind of how I see global warming. It's a disease. And say, planting 100 trees for every plastic bag you throw in the ocean, doesn't really help anything. The smarter more is to not cause the problem in the first place.

They are the only bottled water company with a negative carbon footprint, so there goes the argument of them traveling to far. Also for every tree they cut down they plant two, so there goes the rain forest argument. Fiji actually does a lot for the environment.

Really and truly. Watching someone buy Fiji is like watching them cut down an old growth forest, only less useful. Oh my god, I’ve been telling people this for YEARS. Really and truly.

I hate to admit it, but I'm ashamed of the number of bottles I probably guy per year. I’d never had a problem with tap water until someone told me to.

Plastic is bad. I'm sure their politics aren't right. I can think of 30 reasons not to drink Fiji water. The fastest way to put them out of biz would be putting a free tap in every bodega, but somehow now that there's money to be made off water, no one with a register watns to lend a cup.
