The Telegraph announces that "Bottled water is immoral". Should governments make rules in order to control and reduce manufacture and sale of bottled water?


Britain's environment minister is quoted on the Telegraph today saying the amount of money spent on mineral water "borders on being morally unacceptable".

More from the same artical:
*Drinking a bottle of water has the same impact on the environment as driving a car for a kilometre
*A litre bottle of Evian or Volvic generates up to 600 times more CO2 than a litre of tap water.
