New York City Times Square was evacuated<\/a> for the second time this week due to reports of a \u201csuspicious package.\u201d\u00a0 The package was just a few blocks away from where a vehicle loaded with explosives was found about a week ago.\u00a0 In a city prone to terrorism, the paranoia seems natural.\u00a0 What makes this story so noteworthy for us is that it drives home the point we have been desperately trying to make all along \u2013 bottled water is dangerous!<\/p>\n

What does bottled water have to do with anything, you ask?<\/p>\n

The package in question was a soft cooler full of water bottles.\u00a0 The brand is unknown and irrelevant, because bottled water of any kind is not a good thing for our planet. \u00a0This was obviously not a terrorist attack, as the package was found to be harmless.\u00a0 But what was it? Why did someone leave a cooler of water bottles in Times Square, just blocks away from where a suspicious vehicle warranted a bomb threat last week?\u00a0 Perhaps the discovery of this package was no coincidence. \u00a0Perhaps the water gods are trying to tell us something here:\u00a0 besides crowding our landfills and contributing significantly to the pollution and degradation of our environment, bottled water is a potentially explosive threat to the human race (pun intended.)\u00a0 The message is clear.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to drop the bottle and get a water filter..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
