PITY THE POOR BOTTLED-WATER DRINKERS:
First they're reviled as yuppies, then they learn that their cool, clear quenchers aren't necessarily pure (see "The Hidden Life of Bottled Water," May/June 1999). Now communities from Texas to Maine are boycotting Perrier, charging that overpumping by the bottler (owned by Nestlé) is drying up their springs, disturbing habitat, and
allowing salt water to seep into coastal water supplies. For more information, visit www.saveamericaswater.com.
