Why Do We Throw Away Money?

This blog is pertaining to the video of "Water bottles costing millions and billions of dollars." This message has made me realize how much we depend on bottled water. When I was younger, I remembered always drinking tapped water. The freshness of it. The purity too. Then one day the media catches our attention with contaminated water, and how it's unsafe to drink from your own faucet at home. Was that just a way of generating more money for the government? Are we easily brain washed from the media? We already pay an extra 5 cents per bottle on top of the original price of $1.99 & up.

I can no longer drink from the tapped water anymore. I get an unsatisfying taste from it. It sometimes make my face cringe. Is it really not okay to drink that water anymore? I don't really know. But of all the money we waste to drink one bottle of water, seems a little skeptical that the government would allow it. I can't really figure it out yet. But I'm sure there is a catch to spending all that money on water bottles. The safety of the people? Or the people created this crazy expense. Not sure what happened, but it just does not seem right. How can we fix this?
