Fiji water challenges the mind sometimes. We can get water from Fiji which is better than the water available to some of the people who live there. Then there is the incredible process of getting that water to us. We send used plastic junk on a ship to China. They have a factory which reprocesses that plastic into new bottles which are sent on another ship to Fiji where they are filled up with water. Another boat brings them to the US shores where trucks pick them up and drive across the country. Just so somebody can have a glass of water which is also available in this country without all the shipping- and then we toss away the glass (or bottle in this case). Crazy. I buy a bottled water maybe once every few months- and then reuse the container by refilling it with more water.
