Gary Davidson of Bellingham makes a great point in his letter to the Seattle Times editor in response to Gov. Chris Gregoire's proposal to tax bottled water.

Gary writes, "There is nothing more important to the human body than water intake. Many people are not around a faucet 24 hours a day and bottled water is a way of keeping all of us out of medical facilities and keeping healthy on a daily basis. Nursing homes pass out bottled water on day trips. Ever gone on a walk without bottled water to help with dehydration?

"The best way of catching up with your daily intake is to have that bottled water available while in the car and eating a snack during lunch break. And what about those who send their children to school and put water in their lunchbox? Or those who just drink bottled water due to bad well water?

"The fact is, it will make it too expensive for many budgets with the penny-an-ounce tax."

We need more letters like this.

We had a great time giving out free samples of our sparkling spring water to shoppers at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kanasas.

This is a fun Youtube video on how to recycle bottled water bottles.
