While this amount may proverb

 While this amount may seem large, it pales in comparison to the estimated $100 billion spent each year on bottled water.

 Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy. Although in the industrial world bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to 10,000 times more.

 The Bureau of Economic Analysis has estimated that in 1995 Americans spent roughly $300 billion on financial services ... Even if increased competition were to lead to savings of just one percent, that's $3 billion

 There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community. But bottled water is not the answer in the developed world, nor does it solve problems for the 1.1 billion people who lack a secure water supply. Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

 The only thing different I know of is they shipped us a big shipment of bottled water; maybe, for the holiday weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of next week we're out of bottled water.
  Bill Evans

 The most surprising finding in this survey is the large amount of time executives spend searching for information. At today's executive salary levels, four hours of search time can cost companies $1,000 or more per week -- not including the cost of lost opportunities, delayed decisions, or other work not completed. If you apply this estimated figure to Fortune 500 companies, the money spent adds up to $60M each year.

 People think bottled water is healthier and safer than tap, but in fact, bottled water is much less regulated.
