Drinking water of millions of Americans contaminated with ‘forever chemicals’
Drinking water of millions of Americans contaminated with ‘forever chemicals’
Water of about 26 million is contaminated as new data offers the most robust look into exactly which communities are polluted

Bottled water is the fucking problem. Don't whinge about anything climate based if you recommend plastic. The disconnect on solving contaminated water with plastic water bottles s mind boggling.
If you don't have a water source very close plastic beats glass very fast.
Glass is so much heavier that the additional fuel to transport it over 100km offsets whatever emissions plastic creates.
This is the classic "no good option" dilemma depending where you live.
In many parts of Europe you can buy the locally sourced water from glass bottles - but it doesn't make much sense buying glass bottles for climate change reasons otherwise
I don't know much about this but wouldn't a water filter be better?
We have great municipal water so I have never used one, but it at least sounds better than buying bottled water.
Yeah using the local tap water and adding a water filter if necessary is the best option for sure
What are you even talking about? The moral "dilemma" here isn't between water bottled in plastic vs. water bottled in glass; it's between water bottled in plastic and water piped through the damn tap. Tap water is unambiguously superior and it's not even close.
If that's drinkable then definitely
Not sure if I'd trust a 20€ Amazon filter with US tap water in some regions
