It takes 3 liters of water to create every one liter bottle of water.It also takes 17 billions barrels of oil to make the 8 billion gallons of bottled water American drink every year.

Where do you find this stuff? I'd love to see the link.
this sort of stuff is so disturbing. it's just ridiculous what we're willing to sacrifice for convenience.
I am going to get an "I heard in on NPR" bumper sticker for you! Pretty crazy stuff... ekw
Yesterday's Fresh Air on NPR. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16654226
Thanks. It's good to find other FreshAir-ites. I wish I could switch to a better local affiliate, though.
So two barrels of oil are used in producing a gallon of bottled water? I hope my math is wrong, because that's frightening.
no, because most bottles are much smaller than a gallon. even still, it's ridiculous.
