Governors: Don't subsidize bottled water
Governor,
Please issue an executive order to end the purchase of bottled water using state funds. In light of the state’s budget crisis, it is crucial that we scrutinize and eliminate wasteful expenditures, and bottled water is a sensible place to start. Bottled water is 240 - 10,000 times more expensive than water from the tap and is subject to less rigorous testing and purity standards than tap water. Furthermore, the bottling process consumes the energy equivalent of 17 million barrels of oil annually and wastes two gallons of water for every gallon that is bottled.
We, the undersigned, ask you to prohibit the use of state funds to purchase bottled water, including bulk water jugs and single serving bottles, for government offices and state-sponsored events, unless needed for public health purposes.

This site seemed a little suspicious to me. It wouldn't let me sign in without logging in first and my password wasn't one i would typically use, plus it had incorrect data saved for my address.

I cannot believe people by bottled water. I bought bottled water once when I was Mexico but it was just tap water. Ha!
