After all, most Fair Trade goods (coffee, tea, indigenous crafts) are imported from remote locales like China, Ghana, or Peru, incurring the obvious transportation emissions.

We already know that bottled water consumes an enormous amount of energy to produce - and creates a tremendous amount of waste. Now the AP is reporting that bottled water isn't so pure after all.
A two year study done by the Washington-based Environmental Working Group showed high - but "acceptable" according to government standards - levels of everything from acetaminophen to strontium. They speculate that some of the chemicals leached from the plastic bottles used to hold the water. The group recommends the use of a charcoal filter for tap water as the healthiest and most environmentally sound option.
Lucky for me, I live in a city (Chicago) where the tap water is delicious. In Lubbock TX, where my mother lives, water-lovers aren't so fortunate. Wonder if a charcoal filter would remove that soapy taste?
