I'd guess a million concrete footings don't do the damage that the caps from 50 billion water bottles do, every year.

Even for people who meticulously throw them away in the garbage? Even for people who tend to refill the bottles at least 10 times before using a new one?
To me, bottled water is mainly a convenient container, with a cap. (And yes, in a public place, especially a Dr's office, I sure as hell DO want a cap. And yes, I do have a medical condition (side effects of BP medicines) which make me having water conveniently available a very desirable thing).
Every metal, plastic, etc. bottle to haul around water in (i.e. the permanent kind) has various problems, some of which look pretty nasty.
Let's not pretend that bottled water has to be the bane of civilization, even as certain folks around here pretend it's meat, taxes, guns, etc.

Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
