This weekend, I was fortunate enough to be able to catch the newly released DVD documentary "Tapped". At only 1 hour and 7 minutes, this hard hitting, must-see film, exposes the true interests of the bottled water industry and the dire health risks we are all now facing.

If you have any doubt about the damage this industry causes to local water sources, the greater environment, local communities, and your own health, then you should take the time to watch this film. The producers did a fine job pulling together bottled water industry reps, EPA employees, environmentalists, scientists, and everyday citizens like you and I, putting into perspective the unquenchable profit motives of the corporate water bottling giants and their lack of desire to give back and make whole what they've helped destroy.

"Tapped" also does a great job at showing the lack of regulation that the bottled water enjoys. It's easy for many of us to be unhappy with our local water municipality for the quality of water, however water bottlers essentially get a free pass and do not undergo any routine or monitored water sampling by any government agency. The producers take it upon themselves to have the bottled water tested, and the contaminants and chemicals found in the bottled water are downright scary.

Finally, the film spends a good amount of time examining the bottle containers themselves, including the dangers they pose to human health from endocrine disrupting chemicals such as Bispenol-A (BPA). What's truly eye-opening and nightmarish is the speed at which havoc is being wreaked on our land and oceans from these plastic bottles. "Tapped" will make you think twice about ever purchasing bottled water again, and it's of those films you'll be recommending to friends and family members to make them aware of the accelerating severity of this problem.
