Members Ender_rpm Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 ... If you want a cause, why not take on junk mail? Any idea how much we throw into the recycling container each week? No crap. I have a 6in stack next to the front door from just the last month alone. Tree killers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Damn, I keep trying to get my wife down below 2 bags, and its just us. Do you compost? LOL, I should go outside and take a pic of my compost pile. I'm in the middle of redoing our back yard, (arguing with the power company has held me up for the last 4 months), and I brought in quite a bit of compost. That, added to what I produce has made a pile about 4 feet tall and 8 feet across. BTW, I've already tilled in what I've needed -- this is all left over.

Members 82Daion Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 The issue with tap water is flouride. No matter what anyone tells you, it is a poison. It will help prevent cavities but it will kill you later on. Search the internet and you will find the truth. The best thing you can do is get spring water in 5 gallon reusable containers from a reliable source. In case you dont know it yet, the government in the US could give 2 sheets about our health. Is it really safe to put flouride in water? http://www.noreenshealthdiner.com/flouride.html Oh yeah, and you should not use toothpaste with flouride either. It may sound extreme but do the research. My bodily fluids are at risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lug Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face? On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I could bottle the water from out of my tap and make a killing from it - round here is pretty good stuff EDIT: even the snobby people in my snobby wee town would probably buy it just because it is bottled. Just with a wee bit of marketing and entrepenerial flare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bnyswonger Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Flouride has been in use in most US metropolitan systems since the '50s. If it's so friggin' deadly, how's come we got so old folks still around? A lot of them still have their choppers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeonVomit Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Anyone who lives in London will share with you the joys of our fair town's infamous tap water. Scenario: wake up in the middle of the night, really really thristy. Go to the kitchen and fill a glass with London's pride, down it and feel your body convulse with the vile chemical aftertaste. Bottled is better in that case, although a filter would be ideal. I visited Finland, and the tap water was like Evian. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 So is this the "thing to be up in arms against" for tree-huggers this week? Now they're going after bottled water drinkers? FFS. I'm going to poison the patchouli supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members takeout Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Tap water is vigorously monitored by the EPA. Bottled is regulated (sort of) by the understaffed FDA. The EPA runs dozens of rigorous tests, as opposed to the handful required by the FDA. I was wondering how long it would take a fluoride argument to develop...

Members NeonVomit Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I saw a program that showed that many brands of bottled water were simply tap water in bottles. As in, if you read the small print on the bottle, says 'bottled at xxxx municipal supply'. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob O'Brian Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Funny, I was talking to somebody about this at work today. He mentioned that 'Evian' is 'Naive' backwards.

Never had a cavity and I've been drinking tap water all of my life. I LOVE it. We did the bottled water thing for a while, but it was creating a lot of waste. I bought a Brita filter for my tap and I'm very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rippin' Robin Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Whether for health concerns, or for concerns of consent, or because their people are receiving fluoride through other means, some governments have ceased or decided not to start fluoridating their water. However, no country has discontinued or refused to adopt fluoridation simply because it was proven harmful in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members G-Bass-Austin Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 With both Flouride and Chlorine. It's a cumulative effect over time for those that are more genetically prone to such things which is why is everyone does not drop dead (like smoking or drinking).....who is to know who those people are...some may be people you know who had heart attacks/strokes/cancer in their 40's, 50's and 60's. I am not going to argue. The data is all over the place....I just grabbed the first article I could find.....Do what you want with it...or not...it's about awareness. To test my theory, eat a giant cube of pool chlorine, or drink a big glass of flouride once a week for the rest of your life and see what happens Find out how good it is for your body I agree to disagree. With that, I bid farewell to this thread :wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
