Bottlemania: How Water Went On Sale And Why We Bought It

9781921372131

How did we get tricked into paying top dollar for something we could get for free from the tap? How did water – the basis for all life – become a heavily marketed product? And what is the environmental cost we’re paying for mining water from communities; creating tonnes of unnecessary waste (plastic bottles) and using up oil – a fading commodity – to make and transport bottles to the consumer, in countries where local water supplies are among the best in the world? If you’ve ever wondered about any of these questions, you must read this thought-provoking, informative book.
