Product: Mountain Valley Spring Water
posted by Mighty Staff
For those of us living in the United States, it is difficult to find domestic glass bottled water. Most of the glass bottled water found in markets is imported from faraway shores like Italy and France. Keep your eyes open for Mountain Valley Spring Water, it is a glass bottled spring water from a single, natural spring near Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. The water is bottled at the source and has a clean, clear, pleasing taste.
Why glass? People are becoming increasingly interested in avoiding foods and beverages packaged in plastic, many citing health reasons. There is concern that under certain conditions (for example, heat) some of the powerful chemicals that make plastic flexible can leach into the water or food.
Are there other domestic glass bottled spring water companies out there we should know about? We will talk about filtered tap water and municipal water supplies at a later date and why this is a better route to go environmentally - this post is mainly to give people a heads up that there is in fact domestic glass bottled spring water on the market for those times you choose to go bottled and want to reduce some of those foods miles without compromising quality.

I am drinking some mountain valley spring water right now! Great post.

I'm glad to see a spring water packaged in a glass container. This trend should be encouraged by consumers by purchasing this product. A couple of other considerations - buy locally produced spring water and indeed treated tap water is better than bottled water for everyday use but sometimes bottled water is the beverage of choice.
