San Francisco mayor takes on ... bottled water?

When it comes t bottled water don't waste your money or are plastic, the water out of are facits are just as good or better. The water out of the facit has a pH of 7 bottled water has a pH of 7 or lower.
Fiji water has a pH of 7
Arrowhead has a pH of 6
(The scale below 7 is acidic above 7 is alkaline)
Alkaline water is for drinking acidic water is for outside the body.

When it comes to Reverse Osmosis DON'T drink it is the worst water out there it has a pH of 4 and has no value to it the unit that produces it takes all the vitamins out of it (it is known as DEAD water)

Most people drink water to re-hydrate or to take medicine. Instead of the mayor banning water-bottles, it seems to me that it would be a lot smarter to set-up some re-cycling bins. What’s next “Mayor” banning all those plastic pens city workers use to write with and issuing them environmentally friendly chock?

Why not have companies use the bottles made from corn which are fully biodegradable?

I am with the mayor 100%. too bad I dont live there but he is 100% right on.

bIG bROTHER IS HERE

I say 10 stars and a thumbs up to SanFrancisco. We have far to many companies in todays market that simply look for cheap packaging. They could care less about what that packaging when discarded does to the enviroment. If everyone had the common sense to recycle, things would be different but this is not the case. It is the ones we see on the highways flicking their cigarette butts out the window, dumping their ashtrays in parking lots and tossing their litter everywhere, whom are the reasons for these actions. If we could cimply euthanize that part of society their would be no reason for such regulations. This is not an option though so I say we start once again packaging in Glass bottles with say a 25 cent return deposit on each bottle. Grocery bags should be of 100% recycled paper content . The fine for a cigarette but out the window should be a mandatory $1000 and two points on the drivers license if done from a motor vehicle, ditto for any litter as well.
The tragedy in all of this is that Sanfrancisco is a leader with few followers, wake up America these problems are country wide. We live in a world in which the enviroment takes a back seat to the economy and industry which is just why we have such a crisis as Global Warming. The fix is for that is simply, quit trashing the air and the earth will heal herself. Keep trashing the air and the enviroment and the earth will eventually take her last breath and those still living will be taken with her. Perhaps someday an intellignet being will say hey we'll have no economy or life for that matter if the earth should suffer multi system failure renedering her lifeless and uninhabital????

Plastic bottles are petroleum based. Buying bottled water is the same as buying gasoline. The plastic sacks they put the bottles in are also petro-based. Wake up.. buy a water purification system and fill your own bottles.. don't dump them in the landfills.

Plastic is poison. Good for the mayor and San Francisco.

This guy is a complete Jackass! If he only new what was in that resevior! Most bottled waters... Aquifina, Dasani, etc... are mainly processed river/resevoir waters. If the public only new that your body will not assemulate hydration, due to the fact your cells do not recognize the chemicals in the water to be natural /healthy for itself. our water tables are getting worse and worse from idiots like Mr. freakin know it all, passing probably every unethical unfreindly enviromental scenerio to his big corp. buddies that line his pockets to allow their indistries to destroy our very basic staples of life.
THIS GUY SHOULD CRAWL BACK INTO THE HOLE HE CAME OUT OF. Probably his boyfriends! Or learn a few things about pure, bottled @ the source LIVE mineral waters. You can find them @ finewaterimports.com
Finally I have to say... Just like a true pollitician, running his mouth about something he truely knows nothing about. Thank The Lord he does not have a position that really matters. I can't believe I wasted my time on this Idiot. Go get um Gavin...You uneducated fool!

While mayor Newsom's decision to stop his local government wasting money on bottled water is both prudent and reasonable, it will do little to stem the huge environmental impact that this and many other common wasteful practices increasingly have -- all over the planet.

Perhaps the only hope we have for slowing or stopping this type of shameful waste on a sufficiently large scale is to make recycling profitable. A one dollar deposit on each bottle sold would ensure that very few bottles ever reached a landfill.

This type of substantial bounty levels on all recyclable material would not only dramatically help in curbing waste, but could also go a long way toward helping to redistribute wealth and perhaps take a big bite out of poverty.
