Evidence: The story of bottled water

1.What are the problems derived from drinking bottled water? Mention two

problems at least.

One problem is when the extraction and the use of oil for the production of bottles

is done, much energy is lost in the preparation and distribution of the same.

The planet accumulates many plastic bottle wastes if people drink a lot of bottled

water.When plastic bottle waste is burned, toxic contamination is released into the

environment.

2. What is the difference between bottled water and drinking water?

If the water is treated, processed and sold by a company, the water is bottled

water. If water can be drunk by people without any problem this water is drinking

water.

3. Describe the process involved in manufacturing a plastic bottle.

Companies obtain raw materials from nature to manufacture bottles, then

companies manufacture them, when the companies have already manufactured

the bottles, they fill the bottles with processed water.

When the water has already been bottled, the bottles will be distributed until they

reach the people. After the empty bottles are collected, if they are not thrown or

incinerated, the bottles will


be used to make new products of lower quality.

4. What happens with the plastic bottles after we throw them away?

If the plastic bottles do not end up dumping in landfills for many years, they end up

in incinerators where toxic contaminants are expelled.

5. What solutions can be implemented to solve this problem?

If we work to prohibit the purchase of bottled water throughout the city, people will

drink drinking water. If we press the officials of our city in our city to bring sources

of drinking water, we will get them to do so.

6. Is this problem common in your community? What does the community do

to deal with it?

It is very common. Many people in my community have wáter filters in their homes

and fill a bottle with water every time they go out. When people do this they do not

need to buy bottled water.

7. Will you drink bottled water again? Why? Why not?

It's been a long time since I have drinked bottled water.

I have some reasons and one of them is that I spend less money if I do not drink

bottled water, another is that I think it is not worth spending money on it if I can

take water from the tap.


8. What will you do in the future to reduce the number of plastic bottles used

in the world?

I will encourage my family and other people not to drink bottled water and I will

participate in campaigns against the use of plastic bottles.
