@MotherJones Bottling water is a "drop" in the bucket compared to what's used flushing toilets and that's a drop compared to growing almonds

@inartic Almonds use less H2O per calorie than beef & almond milk less H2O per gallon than dairy milk. Pick another scapegoat.@MotherJones -
@n8r0n74@MotherJones Didn't have the characters to include meat and dairy, I know they use more. Bottled water still a fraction of almonds. -
@inartic The other issue I think people have is that bottled water companies could draw from anywhere & just filter product...@MotherJones -
@n8r0n74@MotherJones They could, but they had no way of knowing there would be a drought. There are cheaper places where they do business. -
@inartic Absolutely. But, there's good reason to believe droughts will be more common, so relocating industries may be needed.@MotherJones -
@n8r0n74@MotherJones That may be, maybe the same for many water intensive industries, maybe cattle ranchers. Fracking uses a lot of water. -
@inartic Fracking doesn't just use H2O, but it contaminates it, which is a double whammy! H2O use by NRG source (p4): http://bit.ly/1D6IDgV - 2 more replies

@MotherJones It should be illegal to do that. Once western springs are tapped out, Californians will be scalped for water from the East.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@MotherJones It was insane to think CA could green up a desert & not suffer consequences. Bottling water or lack thereof, only more insane.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@MotherJones And once that happens, you just know there are going to be a series of chemical & shale oil spills across the East's waterways.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
