Isn't that the goal?On a related note, I never got why people bought bottled water. It's more expensive than gasoline drop for drop, a waste of plastic, and 40% of it comes from city tap water. People shouldn't trust profit so blindly.

I'm not sure exactly how they're running their experiment, but I trust that organization, so I'm sure they've got a good reason. At least, I hope so! :) Hi Kate,

I thought the same thing at first! I’m not sure exactly how they’re running their experiment, but I trust that organization, so I’m sure they’ve got a good reason. At least, I hope so! :)

How will sending in bottled water labels help make the water cleaner? Also, seems silly for EWG to reward someone for sending in lots of labels - a reward for using plastic bottles.... however, I guess the reward is a stainless steel bottle which is good. It's what they should be using anyway. I’m confused. How will sending in bottled water labels help make the water cleaner?
