The other day, I was researching getting those 5-gallon bottles of water delivered. We already have a water cooler and we bought 2 bottles a while back. We take those two bottles when they’re empty (generally about every 10 days) to Wal-Mart or Publix and fill them up at their purified water dispensers for around $1.50 per 5-gallon bottle. We’ve been getting a bit tired of doing this and with Valerie pregnant, it’s harder (and less of a good idea) for her to fill these on her own.

So, I was digging around, looking for a few different options for delivery services. The best I found was Blue Ridge Mountain Waters. It’s local (somewhat) and it’s the cheapest at $6.95 per 5-gallon bottle. Some of the companies are $8 and up per bottle. Anyway, that’s just an aside.

While I was researching this stuff (using Google, of course) I came across ThinkOutsideTheBottle.org. These people seriously have a problem with bottled water. Enough so that they’ve set up a website, gotten celebrities (ok, Martin Sheen) to throw in with them, and even bought sponsored links from Google (how I found them).

So, apparently, there is an “anit” group for anything you can think of. I never would have thought someone could be anti-bottled water, but there they are!
