In an opinion piece Aug. 25, Derrick Z. Jackson reported a 5 percent drop in
Nestle bottled water sales in North America and Western Europe. Suppliers Pepsi and Coke reported
drops in sales too. These drops come from a variety of brands: Nestle’s Poland Spring, Perrier, S. Pellegrino, and Deer Park; Pepsi’s Aquafina; and Coke’s Dasani.

Jackson finds that the sad part of this news is that “ending the bottled-water fad took a recession, when common sense should have kicked in long ago.”

From Multi-Pure: “We use food grade quality polypropylene for
our plastics. The NSF tests for this as well. We are certified by the
NSF. We do not add anything into the water from our Systems.”
