In this episode, David considers America's obsession with bottled water --a $12 billion industry. While the health benefits of bottled water are dubious, the old bottles enter the food chain as birds and fish ingest bits of plastic. Later, David talks to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who eliminated bottled water from the city's purchases for environmental reasons.
