Effects of Bottle water
What is the most the prime suspect of droughts, floods, storms, loss of land, habitat, glacier, homes and even lives? Bottled water has been juicing us dry for far too long. It has been cheating us, it has been lying to us, and it has been taking from us for and we have done nothing but, accept this thing into our society but, in reality it is really more like a virus to us all. We never realize it because the effects don’t affect us directly right away but, it affects us passively with its very existence. Let me explain with reason, evidence, and my response and we will see what truth to behold. First we need to understand hows it is cheating us, and lying to us “Bottled water costs about 2000 times more than tap …show more content…
One of their first marketing tactics was to scare people about tap water, with ads like Fiji’s Cleveland campaign. ‘When we’re done,’ one tap water exec said, ‘tap water will be relegated to showers and washing dishes.’... In a recent full page ad, Nestlé said: ‘bottled water is the most environmentally responsible consumer product in the world.’”(storyofstuff.org/movies/story-of-bottled-water/) They have cheated us by the amount they take away from us. The cost is much more for water that is clean. Even, if the water wasn’t clean there is a solution, boil it. Boiling actually get rid of most of the bacteria and is very effective. It is also more cleaner and more cost effective than bottled water ever could be. They have lied about it in their campaigns like in all company there's always this one unwritten rule, profits rule over all, even in customer satisfaction. Nestle lying about bottle water being the most environmentally responsible consumer product in the world is such a big lie. It actually goes further with the use of water.

We were the ones who fell in the traps of big corporation and we were the ones who will always consume until our death and with this earth will have an end to its suffering for helping a small species grow out of control. Is there a silver lining? Yes if you're still reading. There is a way to end these tricks, to slow the inevitable pain, and to ensure a future where our kids and their kids live as bright as the stars they are and it is very simple. It is buy less, and be cost effective. Now as consumers we will always consume so global warming will inevitably end with the lost of humanity but, it doesn’t have to end like this. I will use water as an example, if I drink water should it be from the tap or from the bottle. First, weigh the pros and cons. Plastic is expensive, harmful to the environment, but it is almost found every store and is portable. Drinking from the tap can possibly be harmful to yourself but, is more environmentally friendly, and cheap. The solution is a mix, instead of both start off with tap water and boil it to lower the chance of it being harmful, more so than bottled water. Then fill it up in a reusable bottle so it can be portable too. It may have more steps in hindsight but overall it is less steps than plastic
