People say that sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees. It’s the same with water. In fact, some of the best and cleanest water is right within arm’s reach - from the tap. But what do you drink when you’re far from a tap? Postevand (Danish for tapwater) is some of the worlds best ground water, packaged in eco-friendly FSC cartons and always shipped over the shortest distance possible. Notably, Postevand asks people not to buy their product on the carton. For this, and his work against the overcrowded and blurry market of bottled water, Jesper has been awarded as Idealist of the Year 2015 in Denmark.

By doing this you are telling everyone to drink the “Fluoridated Tap Water” ... Fluoride being the waste product of Pesticides and Herbicides. They have a responsibility to make it safe to drink “First.” To destroy those accountable for poisoning our tap water & toothpaste. They knew it would harm humanity, because it was their intent to do so. Every action has a consequence. And for those who’s wish it was to harm humanity will not escape the consequences of their actions.

I live in the UK, in a country where tap water is completely safe to drink. If you also live there, you know that there's an ever increasing demand for bottled water despite the many alternatives.I understand filtered water solutions such as a Brita can do the job, however you would be impressed by the amount of my friends who still prefer bottled water! And usually those are immigrants or expats who lived in countries where tap water is not safe! They say bottled water is "safer, you know exactly the mineral composition of the water each time, and so it has a great taste". Filtered water should technically enhance the flavor, but it does not recreate premium bottled water, such as Evian or Volvic. Full disclaimer: I do not work for this company. Since I live in London, I came across this startup called "Sküma" claiming to recreate and miniaturize the bottled water process, at home from your tap! This seemed interesting since it limits plastic waste and recreates the same purity, mineral composition and taste as other bottled water. Being an expat myself, I can see this being a viable long-term solution for people with similar background or tap water concerns.

I live in Canada and I use a Brita but I have never changed the filter. When I bought it I never saw a difference and it’s $$ for what it does. I always end up drinking from the tap or bottles. I’m really curious about this product, have you tried it?

@SandyM1993 3 года назад

If the water has a taste then it is NOT clean. You said "bottled water has a great taste". Natural clean water has no taste, which means what your tasting is chemicals in the bottled water.

I live in Russia and everyone sticks to bottled or at least boiled water here. That's cause we have old plumbing, obsolete purification plants and overall incompetence of people responsible for the quality of our tap water. I mean, it literally tastes like metal and sometimes has particles of rust in it, no way am I drinking that.

@Robert-dc1wd 3 года назад

What a great Ted talk! I've stopped buying plastic bottles years ago and swapped it for metal bottle! 👏🏻

@MutheiM_Marz 2 года назад

20 years of my life…i never buy bottled water out of want. i only buy if i really NEED it(my car water boil out, so i need to buy bottled water and that bottle still in my car to this day). which maybe 2-5 bottle a year. my country water system is good. yet people keep buying water.

@doodleblockwell2610 3 года назад

I have been drinking tap water for 60 years and have probably purchase a bottle of water 3 or 4 times in my life when there was no other option. I see no reason to change now. The idea of 'buying' water just seems absurd to me. Even at events where there is no water fountain, I can usually find a restroom and will just slurp from the sink, before I stoop to something so wasteful and expensive as buying it.

@herosteve9244 3 года назад

Heh, lucky you lol. Tap water here isn't safe to drink, making us buy water. (not the bottled kinds, but the ones you see in big blue gallons.

@MutheiM_Marz 2 года назад

me to, i drink tap water for 25 years. even so my outpost in mountain have no good water. military training teach me to add bleach and make it still overnight boiled it filtered it and now a drinking water. supply truck have more space for food because i don’t need water. then we build water filtration room. and we start to teach mountain tribe to filtering water to prevent dysentery and prevent Nestlé from selling water to them. if they can’t sell water, they can’t build factory.

Sadly, people and animals inhale plastic particles everyday coming from single use plastics that we buy. We’re consumers and we have the great privilege of being able to choose who we buy from. Do some quick research and learn what companies are responsible for producing these horrible products, and stop buying from them

@finnzeigermann1206 5 лет назад

The man is totally right. What is happening in the head of those people, that spend money buying bottled water ?? Where do they actually believe bottled water is coming from ?? To all of you I can tell you, it is coming from the same place, as you get your tap water from. It is not so, that some companies suddenly have found a secret place to get special water from.

I live in the USA, where adding sodium fluoride to tap water is legal. Essentia Bottled Water does not have fluoride in it , as I am allergic to the amount sodium fluoride in tap water and I’m supposed to drink at least 8 glasses a day. So people like me appreciate Essentia bottled water , but 99% of bottles water has fluoride

@@MoistNutmeg Filters are hundreds of dollars, and you have to keep changing them out. Only 18 countries in the world add fluoride to the water and our Dental records arnt any better than the countries that don’t . If anything theyre worse

@MoistNutmeg 3 года назад

@@ahviedinero and buying bottled water will add up eventually filter will would pay for it self also your not having such an impact on the environment.. well the science would disagree with you, as would dentist. Fluoride allergies are extremely rare so it would be unfair to take it away for such a minority where you can just use a filter

There are filters or ionizers that you can hook at your sink and they produce the most healthy, delicious water in the USA. I live in Hawaii and that's what I got at home. I'm happy to share more of what I use if you would like.

How do you get free water without free labour, tax? Hes got a good point but as an eating and shifting type, "work" is not free and puting money on that with tax payers will have an effect on other essentail needs that they pay.
