  1. Leonard Smith To many of us who predate the industry, the dinky bottled water concept seemed like a ripoff from the start. I can see now it is a convenience for joggers, bikers, hikers and others who are unfamiliar with canteens, thermoses and the like. (Not that the industry is likely to remind folks of these alternatives!) I notice it is the preferred method of delivery to flood victims, dozens of plastic bottles bound together with still more plastic. I wonder if the plastic is biodegradable, or if those empty bottles just add to the quantity of debris sent to landfills in the disaster areas. Do bottled waters have to meet any industry or government standards for purity? I'll have to check the next empty bottle I find carelessly discarded.
