DISQUS

There are many other means of planning for emergencies and acquiring alternative water sources than bottled water. That said, sometimes bottled water does have a place, namely during emergencies.
You're citing of the recent US Conference of Mayors resolution is a red herring. That referrs to BUYING bottled water for public meetings, events and staff when there is perfectly good tap water available. Sustainability and ethical issues aside, I feel that my local government can spend our money working on big issues like infrastructure. Not overmarketed conveniences such as bottled water.
