Great photo and even better message! :) It's nice to see someone who cares about what's happening to the dwindling global supply of fossil fuels. When will people see that M. King Hubbert was right...

Congrats on the ribbon - an interesting concept well executed. Just as something to ponder - i think you over Neat Imaged this one - the sky looks strange (blocks of blur with sharp lines of contrast just to the right of the money in the bottle) and the detail of the hand and bottle has been plasticised too much. imo of course (i know water looks nice after NI - i've used that trick before) ;)

I love bottled water. I live in New Orleans and our tap water comes from the Mississippi River. Every river from here to Canada empties into my drinking water.

Your picture reminded me to stop by the store today and buy a case of plastic bottles filled with water.

Thanks,

I'm going to get some water from there and let you drink it for *free*.
There is a highly compostable (in 12 weeks), made from corn, bottle from Colorado, BIOTA, biotaspringwater.com You pay for quality and convenience, and consumer demand. At amusement parks and deserts there the highest.

Excellent photo tribute to our "Water Planet".

At Whitehouse Springs (Elyria-OH), you can come and fill your own reusable containers, at about 75-cents/5-Gallons.

Congratulations on the ribbon! Very cool image and I love the message. It is rediculous and irresponsible how much money we Americans spend on bottled water (especially since much of it is NOT of better quality than what we lucky people have coming out of our taps). Many times those plastic bottles are not recycled either - filling up the landfills! AND how much of our limited petroleum resources are we using to make those stupid plastic bottles anyway?! OK - that was my environmentalist rant - you'll have to forgive me...that's my job. : )

As much as I agree you do know that only 3% of the water in our world is drinkable right? and most of that drinkable water is in form of ice or in ground water in aquifers(squishy underground rock). So it is hard to get drinkable water so that is why we pay.
I think its sad how much water we waste in North America, with our 30 min showers and all that, which is also why we pay so much for our water.
