Sustainability is something maintaining its supply resources. If something should be able to continue forever it would be sustainable.

Tap water is more sustainable than bottled water.
- It takes 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water.
- Bottling water produced more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide
- Making enough plastic to bottle 31.2 billion liters of water requires more than 106 megajoules of energy.
- Producing the bottles for consumption requires the equivalent of more than
17 million barrels of oil, not including the energy for transportation.
Don't drink another drop of water until you see this!!
